Edit: forgot to mention Pine64 starts at like 15 usd for 512Mb Ram or 19 usd for 1GB and like 29USd for 2Gb also from 19 usd up they have gigabit(can be hard to max out due to various issues IIRC, check forum), and the high end version is still cheaper than a RPi3 IIRC
- lunchables 9y agoAnecdote warning: As the happy owner of quite a few RPi, I had a really poor experience with the Rock64 (I know, it's not technically a Pine64). Multiple SD cards, mulitple power supplies and I can't get it to run for more than 5 minutes at a time without locking up. Doesn't appear to be a thermal issue as far as I can tell. Of course I probably just got a bad board, unfortunately after multiple emails I can't get a response from their customer service. I'm ready to just throw it in the trash. Really disppointed because I really just wanted an RPi with usb 3.0 and gigaibit ethernet, it seemed perfect. edit: tried both armbian and android
- X-Istence 9y agoI've got a Rock64 on order, I'll be interested to see what my experience is with it.
- Zekio 9y agoOn my Pine64 I use Dietpi from http://dietpi.com/ http://dietpi.com/ and it just works, it even has a setup gui where you can install to USB Drive and it will have bootloader on SD Card IIRC
