We had a SBC embedded in a product, so I tested exhaustively pretty much every one on the market, then used two of them in the real world for the last few years.
Tinkerboard was the most solid and performant across all different areas, with no gotchas like most of the other boards ended up having.
In the SBC world they all look the same, but live with them for a while and the added experience of Asus really makes a difference.
- regularfry 6y agoWhat did you learn about the differences between the Tinkerboards and rPi's? I've got snags I've run into with pi's in casual use, but I suspect they'll be different to what you've found just because you've had the chance to put both through a proper wringer.
- throwawaygimp 6y agothe rPis of the era didn't have true gigabit ethernet, which I was using to drive cameras which saturated the link. The ethernet was via the USB 2 bus on them, so limited to 480mbps in theory, but much less in practice. So the rPis didn't get any testing as they failed on paper before even getting there.
- regularfry 6y agoAh, ok. Yes, that does make sense. If you really need the IO bandwidth they were... less good.
