It so often comes to some sloppiness on the driver side. I can't help myself but think of "cha bu duo". In my experience Chinese companies (i.e. where most other SBC SoCs are designed) are notorious for having all the ingredients, yet making silly decisions that aren't really even for cost-cutting.

- lvturner 4y agoLoosely translated “close enough” still burned in to my ears. Either hilarious, terrifying or deeply disappointing depending on the context.

- ethbr0 4y agoExactly. Just reading this gave me PTSD and makes me glad I don't work with embedded anymore. My memories are of Indiana Jones-esque gymnastics after stepping on functionality that should have been solid... but turned out to have either been not implemented or implemented in a known-broken way. It makes me appreciate how good enterprise, desktop, and server software actually is. And understand why Apple and Google both put in the approval speed bumps they did for apps. The minimum quality floor is far lower than you would expect... I think the only sane use of most niche embedded stuff is if you're building a product for a single use case and have a team. Aiming for general purpose & everything works? Hell no!
