that's a very big
just๐, but yes, it's made by a company (which i suspect is just a single guy potentially lol) called mangopialso this one has 1gb of ram instead of 512mb of rpi zero 2, plus it has usb C ports instead of micro usb
That actually sound pretty solid. I might need one of these >.>
it is ๐
they actually already have a prototype of a similar board that's literally smaller than an SD-card ๐คฏ
and it has 1gb of ram and a quad core cpu ๐ฎ (though, as you can see, it only interfaces via pins, so it's more of a compute module than a standalone board)
and i have to say that the support is still not great, like, you need to build linux a linux image yourself with third party tools and many things aren't working yet, but overall, i'm very excited for RISC-V and its potential (and other boards from this company)
Can you please share details about this one?
Edit: if you are referring the following... it's not RISC-V: https://hackaday.com/2022/04/01/mangopi-to-bring-a-sd-card-sized-linux-module/
yeah, it's based on an arm cpu, sorry if that wasn't clear from the comment
(they have two versions of many of their boards, one on arm and the other on risc-v)
they also have a board that's about 40x40 millimetres, which i also have, but i can't access it to showcase here unfortunately, but it was more of an early prototype: it only has 64mb of ram ๐ฌ, so not great performance, but cool for stuff like making your own OS ๐คทโโ๏ธ
This is cool. Fuck micro USB
yeah, honestly
it costs like a dollar more (even with the controller), and i'd happily pay that for any device, no matter the budget range, just for the convenience being able to use a single cable and not having to dig through a pile of micro usb cable ๐คทโโ๏ธ
