Friendship ended with raspberry pi Now Pine 64 is my new best friend

Rockchip processors is where it's at these days. Every pi alternative runs an RK3566 or RK3568

For true open source it's gotta be RISCV instead of ARM. Bbut it might be too early days for that.

Yeah I mean Pine64 produces RISCV boards

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Oh I didn't know that. I was familiar with Scifive for higher end RiscV stuff, and MilkV for the cheaper and midrange boards.

The RK3588 is pretty nifty, and is the first Mali GPU (610) where ARM themselves have contributed the firmware upstream and have helped with Collabora with Panfrost development

Bleeding edge, still, but kernel 6.10 and Mesa 24.1 have GPU support

HDMI TX and DSI/CSI are still in-progress

Can you use pine 64 in the same way as a RPi?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Yes(ish) They are not yet as powerful as RPi. But if you have a low power usecase then yes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Broadly yes, as a "user".

Anyone used Beagleboards?
