cuz muh SoC takes a micro usb too

use a hub

I'm gonna look up if it's even required to be powered first

cuz I'd like to keep my SoC kit small

cuz the whole point is for it to be a portable HTPC

so I'm trying to avoid a nest of cables if possible.

Hrm

granted the VGA is pretty much just for my projector

Portable HTPC, eh?

so i wouldn't really take that with me I guess

You should've invested in an Android stick

if i was going portable

lol

it runs android

with much better hardware

and cost $20

Rasp Pi isn't sporting much better hardware than what you get at that pricing

it's not a raspberry pi

it's a raspberry pi-equivalent

it's a PineA64

it's beefier than a Pi

some kickstarter meme I feel for last year

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was thinking of something like this

If you only need the HTPC capability

Or

This if you need something slightly beefier

No cables or anything

pretty much same price as my pine

except the pine runs linux/android/etc

kodi

emulators

that kinds shit

sd card

That's what this does too

But well, if you've already invested in something, I guess it's kinda too late anyway

yea exactly lol

got a good deal cuz of the kickstarter menme

and it's a quadcore a53
