The NEO Air in particular is a very compact board using an Allwinner chip, which works pretty well under Linux including such niceties as support for the integrated power management chip.
I also recently got a couple of the Space Cats Jeter Nano boards. They’re more on par with the VoCore, performance-wise, but with a lot of GPIOs on more hobbyist-friendly (read: breadboard-ready) connectors.
- nine_k 4y agoThe Nano Pi looks 5-6x as expensive, and quite noticeably larger and heavier. Much more powerful though.
- rcoder 4y agoI’m not sure which NanoPi you’re looking at; the Core Air is not quite 2x the price ($32 vs. $18) of the VoCore and only a bit wider/longer, and similarly thin. Also, as you mention it’s in an entirely different class w.r.t. performance, if a bit power-hungry compared to newer SoC designs. Neither one is going to compete with a cheap Atmel or RISC-V MCU in cost, but on the flip side the NEO Core et. al. can run a web server, Docker containers, or a NodeJS app under modest load vs. needing everything rewritten in very tightly-managed C. :)
- nine_k 4y agoHmm, I somehow ended up on a page showing a Neo Pi for $55.
- Andys 4y agoThe nanopi neo lts is $16 https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=132 https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product... and I have found it to be pretty good.
