just saying

2016-08-15 16:31:56 UTC  

they could have just not released it

2016-08-15 16:32:15 UTC  

But pi's community comes with autism and mincecraft xD

2016-08-15 16:32:46 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:33:12 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:33:24 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:33:53 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:34:44 UTC  

Seems like Orange Pi is a safe choice afterall.

2016-08-15 16:35:01 UTC  

But the Raspberry Pi Zero seels cool.

2016-08-15 16:35:07 UTC  

9 buckaroos for a pc.

2016-08-15 16:35:14 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:35:29 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:35:33 UTC  

GPIO-based project?

2016-08-15 16:35:53 UTC  

The chinks already made a clone

2016-08-15 16:36:09 UTC  

Someone made a real clone

2016-08-15 16:36:13 UTC  

C.H.I.P

2016-08-15 16:36:53 UTC  

Nah

2016-08-15 16:37:05 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:37:16 UTC  

Oh yeah

2016-08-15 16:37:23 UTC  

It was the other way around.

2016-08-15 16:37:43 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:38:18 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:38:41 UTC  

now they released an arm64 budget CPU too

2016-08-15 16:38:50 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:39:04 UTC  

be careful about support

2016-08-15 16:39:06 UTC  

Link to that budget cpu?

2016-08-15 16:39:19 UTC  

Support? Why.

2016-08-15 16:39:20 UTC  
2016-08-15 16:39:29 UTC  

Raspi has awesome software support

2016-08-15 16:39:34 UTC  

Does the Orange Pi implode often or?

2016-08-15 16:39:36 UTC  

people here are mostly making kernel by community effort

2016-08-15 16:39:51 UTC  

the reason I recommend the H3 is this in particular

2016-08-15 16:39:52 UTC  

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:

2016-08-15 16:40:07 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:40:37 UTC  

Oh, that's cool.

2016-08-15 16:41:04 UTC  

Well, you said 15 bucks, right?

2016-08-15 16:41:19 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:41:43 UTC  

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

2016-08-15 16:42:00 UTC  

Took my own power brick to power it and ofc

2016-08-15 16:42:01 UTC  

From Ali?
