I have several ARM dev boards and am thinking of getting a PinePhone, am happy to pay upto $200 for something to play with but not $1000.
The HiFive Unleashed is interesting in that it has a lot more RAM than cheap ARM dev boards, for the same money though I could get a HoneyComb LX2K ARM system.
- floatboth 7y agoNot for the same money, for much cheaper. HiFive Unleashed is $1000 for the board with onboard RAM… but it does not have PCIe onboard, so if you want that, you could pay $2000 extra (!!) for the "HiFive Unleashed Expansion Board" that has a giant FPGA that has a PCIe root complex programmed on it. HoneyComb LX2K is $750 for the board with 64GB eMMC + bring your own SODIMMs for RAM. SolidRun also offers the MACCHIATObin for $339. 4-core A72 + 4GB full-size DIMM included. (The single-channel-ness of the RAM is not good for performance, but you can install a big 16GB DIMM no problem.) Both the LX2K and the mcbin have PCIe of course :)
