Doing a bit of test fitting on the Zima Blade this afternoon. #Linux #SBC

LattePanda IOTA is a single-board PC with Intel N150 and up to 16GB LPDDR5 RAM

The LattePanda IOTA is a single-board computer that’s just a little larger than a Raspberry Pi 5. But with an Intel N150 quad-core processor onboard it should deliver faster CPU and graphics performance, as well as broader compatibility with a wide range of software and operating systems.

It’s the latest in a line of LattePanda devices with Intel processors, and while it’s not the highest […]

My saga to find an #ARM #SBC that has #AES acceleration hits some roadbumps, because it seems all the newer ARM boards require a custom vendor OS with, usually, an ancient kernel. Sigh.

Blog post: "ARM is great, ARM is terrible (and so is RISC-V)" https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10858-arm-is-great-arm-is-terrible-and-so-is-risc-v

When you have certain tasks to execute on slow to very slow media {write to USB sticks, e.g} it is handy to have a machine, which has all the power of your desktop systems, yet uses a fraction of the amount of Ampères.

In this scene the SBC is executing copy commands on display 0, the desktop system is executing certain commands in background which I am monitoring through the dashboards, on display 1, and the Ancient Notebook is showing me output of the different machines while sitting idle until I execute that machine for its specific task on display 2.

Invisible is the dedicated media playing server which runs 24/7. I would need to pull another monitor from another Side of the studio before I can show that output over here also. The dedicated Media Server is important for the audio tasks which are running 24/7

The photograph that you see on display 1 has been shot, in a timeframe, when it was normal to have a thermal take fan the size of a power supply fan, to run at about 70 decibels, at an insane RPM rate, pulling air from the AMD CPU of that period, which was getting so hot that it would burn itself in less than 16 seconds! Thermal Take take wanted 40 dollars for at fan, which included a pot meter used for RPM control.

My Pi5 can easily handle streaming videos with oogles of CPU power to spare. The GPU does a impeccable job

As you can see playing music on the SBC makes network computing super enjoyable
On the left IPS Led panel you see music on console playing a song, on the middle screen you see the ancient notebook showing it's controls on the right lcd panel you see all the way to the right, the dashboard with all the output parameters of the SBC.

Of course that's not all. In a minute I will add another photograph of what I see on the x windows outputs where I have other music and videos queued

On the Xorg screens you see the following; queued on the left is a video of Dream Theater after they had just played the first song on their big Ernie Ball song video. On the middle display you see pavucontrol
In bash you can also see that mplayer is playing the output of the video including the audio stream.

In total that's five display outputs that I'm sending to three panels

Lilbits: A web browser for the reMarkable 2 E Ink tablet, a DIY keyboard phone made from a program Galaxy Z Flip, and more

Last year YouTuber Marcin Plaza built an ultrawide handheld computer with a clamshell design, a QWERTY keyboard, and SteamOS software and called it “a DIY Steam Deck Thingy.” And earlier this year Plaza upgraded that thingy by adding a desktop graphics card.

Plaza’s latest project is something different… although it still has a QWERTY keyboard. It’s a DIY smartphone made by repurposing the […]

Another day, another Banana Pi single-board computer. This time it's the BPI-F5 with an Allwinner T527 8-core ARM Cortex-A55 processor, Mali-G57 MC1 graphics, a 2 TOPS NPU, a RISC-V NPU, and plenty of I/O features. https://linuxgizmos.com/banana-pi-bpi-f5-adopts-allwinner-t527-soc-in-credit-card-sized-sbc/ #BPIF5 #BananaPi #SBC #SingleBoardComputer

Analyzing the script is made easy by adding remarks after lines of code, indicating the level of understanding

Of course I also have https://sense-emu.readthedocs.io/en/v1.1/ docs open

Now playing with python on my SBC

On scope is the SHE (Sense Hat Emu) where I found the gorgeous rainbow program!

You know I love rainbow colours I use them a lot when I pipe even my playful ssh sessions to lolcat.

This program makes me as happy as my four year old self.

As you can see my second microHDMI cable has arrived and is installed. The SBC finally has a dual display setup. I need to get a second HDMI 3 port autoswitcher (a 4K version now) because the button below my large LG display is cumbersome to operate in its hidden position. The panel has 2x HDMI input
I have no remote for this monitor

Armbian v25.8.1 is out! Kernel 6.16 on EDGE, 6.12 on CURRENT - delivering better performance, security & hardware support. New boards added, Debian Trixie supported, and improvements across the stack. Upgrade your SBC setup today! https://blog.armbian.com/v25-8-1-is-here #Armbian #Linux #SBC #opensource #infosec #Ubuntu #Debian #trixie

Give me a #arm #riscv #sbc with dual 6G #sdi output and I would be very happy. None of this #hdmi bs.

I am one step further in the quest of total visual control of my SBC

I now have both micro HDMI outputs of the SBC send to two IPS LED panels. Along with the SBC the X86 Computing system and the ancient notebook

The third panel is attached to the ancient notebook

I was even able to play with this page in RaspAP

Then I reached this screen which meant the defaults are working properly now in RaspAP

Mind you I did not change a thing. Just booted the SBC from the microSD card
