Would an ARM-based mainboard variant be a possibility down the line?
- freedomben 4y agoI'd also love to see a RISC-V variant at some point when it makes sense.
- snvzz 4y agoI'd rather wait for a RISC-V variant than waste any of my time with ARM.
- Laaas 4y agoIt is truly unfortunate that an ARM-based variant isn't available. When you don't care about single-core performance and compatibility, there really isn't much reason to use x86 at all. For me personally, my priority is by far battery-life (and LTE support is a nice bonus). I'm refraining from using Framework until they get an ARM device out to replace my current ARM chromebook (Acer Chromebook Spin 513, my NixOS configuration: https://github.com/L-as/NixOS-lazor https://github.com/L-as/NixOS-lazor)
- amstan 4y agoLazor's SOC has 1 internal type C port and it was a pain to transform that to 2 external ports via a HUB and complicated muxes. There really isn't any other performant ARM chip that has more ports, enough to work in a framework 4 port type situation. If we want to go beyond DP alt mode into USB 4 you could forget it.
