When they first did their kickstarter they were talking about doing a follow up with 64 cores and being able to connect them together with those fancy pants connectors they had going on. I was all set to buy four... and none of that ever materialised.
I got the impression that a lot of folks had unrealistic expectations about how Linux would support the chip right from the start, which honestly wasn't all that surprising recalling the way they worded some of their promotional material.
- panpanna 7y agoOne presenter claimed the board would pay for itself if you used it for mining... I assume something like that would be much easier to implement than a real multicore system like linux but I never heard of anyone mining on their boards.
- UncleOxidant 7y agoMaybe back in 2013 that might have been possible, but it seems like nobody figured out how to effectively use those boards back during that timeframe. And since then GPUs and then custom ASICs took over.
