I love my RaspberryPis (I have 5 now), but they still struggle sometimes. I would really like to see them come out with one with more memory. I know there are Pi-similar boards out there with more memory, but I would hate to give up the advantage of the huge Pi ecosystem.
- MrRadar 8y agoIIRC the SoC they're using, and specifically the VC4 GPU portion which contains the memory controller, only supports 30-bit physical addresses so they'd have to move to a new SoC/GPU to increase the memory beyond 1 GB. The good news is that it looks like Broadcom is developing a new "VC5" GPU (with open-source drivers[1]) but there's no telling when that would make it in to a shipping product.
