OPi PC uses Cortex-A7 instead

http://arstechnica.co.uk/security/2016/05/allwinner-chinese-vendor-android-pi-kernel-backdoor/

Too bad I use a sunxi-linux kernel

Yeah, I saw a deal on Ali where you could get an orange pi pc, case and charger for 20 bucks.

Use mine with a shark

Personally I picked the DC-IN to USB cable

I wouldnt use a chink power brick unless it was from DVE/Xiaomi

and even then their flimsy adaptor bit is very very questionable

>one line of text is all it needs

christ

Chinks chinking

Nothing to see here

This blunder made by the company has been frustrating to many developers. Allwinner has also been less transparent about the backdoor code. David Manouchehri released the information about the backdoor through its own Github account (Pastebin) and then apparently deleted it.

chinks got to him

HOLY SHIT

rather pay the extra and get an RP3 than deal with shady chinks who won't release their code

tkaiser

I know that guy, he's a really cool German tech employee

anyway

Allwinner released the source for the kernel that made this even possible

just saying

they could have just not released it

But pi's community comes with autism and mincecraft xD

What kind of moron would attempt to run something so bloated as java-based minecraft on pi's

The community on OPi is really good, we had people do a lot of awesome with them and even used it as a shitty DAC using chink amps

Mainline is coming soon, and in case you wonder about what comfy posted above

it was allwinners legacy kernel, not https://github.com/igorpecovnik/linux/tree/sun8i

Seems like Orange Pi is a safe choice afterall.

But the Raspberry Pi Zero seels cool.

9 buckaroos for a pc.

I heard it was hard to get one, and its for a special use you know?

No NIC, at most I'd use it with chink power bank as some kind of uhm idk

GPIO-based project?

The chinks already made a clone

Someone made a real clone

C.H.I.P

Nah

I think CHIP came out far before the raspi crew did anything about that

Oh yeah

It was the other way around.

I remember the threads and how the pi people shilled the zero.

But with that said, the CHIP uses R8 CPU, I'd go with a H3

now they released an arm64 budget CPU too

Eh, I'll probably go with an Orange Pi PC for emulation.

be careful about support

Link to that budget cpu?

Support? Why.

here http://linux-sunxi.org/H3

Raspi has awesome software support

Does the Orange Pi implode often or?

people here are mostly making kernel by community effort

the reason I recommend the H3 is this in particular

Mainline status

U-Boot already supports the H3 SoC at least since 2016.01-rc3 and has defconfigs for Orange Pi PC and Xunlong Orange Pi Plus boards.
Also initial H3 patches have been submitted to the mainline kernel, but have not landed yet. Currently you can find the patches in the arm-linux mailing list, or alternatively in one of the work-in-progress kernel forks:

Its the only newer chink SoC which are abotu guaranteed to have a mainline kernel push

Oh, that's cool.

Well, you said 15 bucks, right?

Do you know where I can find a nice case for it?

I would just take their bundle, I ordered the one with case, USB to DC-IN cable and the board

Took my own power brick to power it and ofc

From Ali?

yeah, the package was quite smashed up

but it was packed in anti-static and no pins had any damage

been running for months, at first I was a tad bit scared

I dont think GB is gonna sell that any cheaper

than on ali

You also need a HQ flash card, have a shark? You'll be safe

I have 32 gb micro sd laying around

I ain't gonna use my 128 shark on a micro pc.

haha ofc not

Haha

I use 16gb one more than enough

What do you do with it?

runs NAS

Basically the thing has above 5 TB storage hooked up

so flash memory isnt my biggest worry

Ah fuck

If I wanted I could format the sdcard to just be a boot partition

and boot it up from the hard drive

yeah that works perfectly fine

I accidently deleted the orange pi I had in my wishlist.

nonetheless it will not boot without flash memory

Got a link for that bundle?

Seems like you've got everything unde control.

with shipping

Nice.

it costed me about $24-25

20 usd here

You can get one for 18 usd without the cheap charger.

look at shipping cost

maybe its just higher because of my country

Nice

Well, the thing is, you need a DC-IN with the same size

and ordering that isn't that smart, as it could even cost you a tad bit

I think eBay has em

Oh no

But didn't you say that the charger that came with id real shitty?
