I've been looking at the new Rockchip RK3399 based devboards. Of note is the $99 Rock960[1]. The major draws for me are the DisplayPort support, so I can use it with my iPad 3/4 display controller board, M.2 PCIe 4-lane, eMMC, 802.11ac. Firefly makes a similar one as well. [2]

- hipboi 8y agoHi, Jagger Founder of Vamrs, ROCK960 manufacturer here, iPad 3/4 display is eDP interface and you can drive with RK3399 directly, you don't need DP and controller board. ROCK960 doesn't export eDP due to the small size, ROCK960 EE version has eDP exported.
- linuxlizard 8y agoI wonder what wifi chipset it has. Supports 802.11ac which I need. I should investigate this board, see if it allows monitor mode (low level wifi packet access). The RasPiB+ supports 802.11ac but the Broadcom based wifi doesn't allow monitor mode.
- linuxlizard 8y ago"The wifi/bt module used on ROCK960s is AP6356s from AMPAK Technology." https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/rock960/hardware-docs/hardware-user-manual.md.html#key-components https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/rock960/hard... "AMPAK combines Broadcom Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips in single modules." https://wikidevi.com/wiki/AMPAK https://wikidevi.com/wiki/AMPAK Broadcom + Linux is a very mixed bag. Would require more investigation.
- my123 8y agoThe Raspberry Pi uses Broadcom WiFi and Bluetooth chips too. You need to install the linux-firmware package though.
- imtringued 8y agoThe RK3399 based SBCs are very interesting. Not only are they not complete jokes in terms of performance but they also have PCIe which can be used for SATA.
