I put the BredOS modified firmware on one of these to get the cores to run at the advertised speed and it got me wondering, how much effort would it take to make a libreboot port?
>>107842427Got dGPUs to work?
>>107842521Haven't tried yet, I have a few old ones lying around so I'll test them after work
>>107842559Been tempted in a ATX compatible ARM machine. Watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMnCqmM-WKo right now. Tempted.
>>107842583Mine's mostly just a toy for tinkering with rn. I'm planning to use it as a NAS when I'm done.
>>107842778Yeah, I want a decent ARM platform that supports dGPUs for tinkering too. This seems worth it if the software/firmware has gotten better then it was at launch and the price is decent too.I was looking for ATX compatible ARM boards but somehow missed it or maybe it was before it released. Thanks for bringing it up.
>>107842427that board has been out a year and is still lacking basic functionality that they used in the advertising. stop giving money to arm manufacturers that shit out hardware and don't provide software support. they should be mainlining drivers as they release these boards and not dumping the responsibility onto others.
>>107843150People buy MacBooks to put Asahi Linux on them despite the ton of missing functionality and lack of upstream support. Same goes for the Snapdragon Elite laptops with Ubuntu. I got the Orion O6 with 32GB of RAM for ~$300 and, at least for me, it has enough functionality to justify buying it over a Raspberry Pi.
>>107843690Second.
>>107843690the macbook ships with macos--a fully functional and updated os. the snapdragon elite laptop ships with windows with is functional and updated. that cix board ships with maybe an old version of the linux kernel that has drivers so poorly written they can't upstream them. almost all of these sbc arm chips ship with barely working support for the primary os they're designed for. they are literal ewaste unless someone steps in and does a lot of work for free. this continues to be a problem because people keep paying money for hardware with shitty software support. stop encouraging this shit.
>>107844205Youre so close to getting it man
