This Star64 board looks like a nice contender to the RPi4. Unfortunately, they don't ship to my country. It would be nice if future iterations of these boards came with at least one mini PCIe socket, so that you can add a 4G modem. The PineCube looks interesting as well.
- brucehoult 3y agoStar64 *has* a PCIe socket. Look at the centre of the bottom edge in the first photo: https://lupyuen.codeberg.page/images/linux-title.jpg https://lupyuen.codeberg.page/images/linux-title.jpg It's probably more commonly used with a discrete graphics card or SSD.
- GauntletWizard 3y agoYeah, if I were attaching a modem to a star64 (or rPi) I would use USB and save the PCI-e slot for storage. NVME is a huge upgrade to these devices.
- justahuman74 3y agoI think the pcie is a 1x of Gen2, which might not give quite as much perf as someone may expect from nvme
- GauntletWizard 3y agoStill a lot better than eMMC
- brucehoult 3y agoTheoretical 400 MB/s, and people are reporting an actual 375 on the VisionFive 2, which uses the same JH7110 SoC and brings that PCIe lane out to an M.2 socket.
