- ratiolat 7y agoThanks for the tip! Please provide a link where one can buy such a system which is on par, featurewise, with a raspberry pi 4. The critical features are: 4GiB of ram or more, wifi, bluetooth, 4k hdmi, 2xUSB ports, atleast 2 cores with comparable performance to RPi 4, same ballpark price.
- dmitrygr 7y agonowhere. freedom isn't free you'll pay extra for iMX BUT it is 100% open. you said you wanted that
