WARNING! UNTESTED!
dwaves has not (YET) been given a free sample to review this SOC, armbian is supporting it, which is good: https://blog.armbian.com/friendlyelecs-nanopc-t6-plus-the-flagship-edge-computing-powerhouse-and-media-station/?ref=news-from-armbian-newsletter
(big question is: will BOTH LAN interfaces work reliably with ARMBIAN? because there seems to be some issues at least with the rockpi-e SoC as reviewed here)
what to do with HDMI IN?
HDMI IN port receives audio and video signals from external sources, allowing you to
display, capture, or pass through content. Common uses include connecting gaming consoles, streaming sticks, cable boxes, or cameras to a screen, PC, or capture card for viewing or recording (UNTESTED!)
remarkable and interesting from “9V to 20V” power supply…
does this mean it will run from any power source in that range 😀 even a 12V car plug! that is pretty AMAZING! 😀 and can not easily be done with any other PC!
with 16GB of RAM it is super beefy! also the geekbench results show a 5x faster performance than the Rockchip that was tested previously 😀 HOLY COWS! so this puts the relatively high price for a small SoC into perspective 😀
can this be a very energy efficient x86 laptop replacement? 🤔
