Libre Computer Board AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) 64-bit 4K Media Mini Computer (2GB)

Product Information

I definitely concur with this. The 1080P will be comfortable to use. Not perfect but you won’t be miserable or angry with me because it should be pretty comfortable in 1080P unless something else is wrong like you have a rogue service wasting a bunch of resources on the Potato or some other explanation. For anyone who has tried to move from a Raspberry Pi to an alternative device before this utility really stands out as a compelling reason to choose a Libre board over some of the competitors. I definitely recommend giving it a try! Other Resources I tested Libre Computer’s Le Potato single board computer. Here is all you need to know if you are considering this board as a Raspberry Pi replacement. Intro I literally remember and was writing about it when the Pi was in a far poorer technical state than the Libre boards launched with (again, with the benefit of Pi having paved the road). I’ve seen it before. It will be the same for the Libre and other competitors but it will take time. Not as long as the Pi though because it has all been done before. All we’re doing is fixing things. Nobody has to do anything nobody has ever done before like when the Pi was made for the first time (and there wasn’t really anything else quite like it that had come before). Update: A few days ago Libre Computer released their latest images for the AML-S905X-CC which included a performance boost for the microSD card reader. I have since run new benchmarks and have included those in the main review. The older data is in the collapsible area below it so you can compare the 2. It’s really a decent boost on most cards in the sequential area, though the better cards do see a better overall improvement. IOPING didn’t offer results that differed enough to warrant changing them, just in case you wonder why they’re the same.

It will ask you to type “continue”. Once you type this out it will begin to prepare the image. Testing the Utility Part 4: Le Potato vs ZimaBoard: A Comparison of SBC Price, Availability, Compatibility, and Cooling Single-board computers (SBCs) have gained popularity over the years due to their compact size and powerful performance. Le Potato and ZimaBoard are two such SBCs that have been making waves in the tech community. They both offer unique features and capabilities that make them stand out from the competition. In this article, we will explore the best use cases for these two SBCs and compare their strengths and weaknesses. Robotics and IoT Projects As an awesome and relatively simple Le Potato project idea, here are high-level, step-by-step instructions for creating your own media center: I really like the idea of this script as during the Raspberry Pi shortages we’re still seeing (and are likely to see into mid-late 2023), it offers a very real alternative in the form of Libre Computer’s lineup. If you’re comfortable with the Raspberry Pi OS and the software support surrounding that, you’re going to be able to continue using it with a Libre Computer board. You may even have an old, dead Raspberry Pi that you can take the operating system from!

Building a custom media center with Le Potato is a cost-effective option when compared to purchasing a retail media center or streaming device. If your Le Potato project calls for a specific Linux operating system, find that image below. Ubuntu Le Potato Image

There is actually a Libre Computers subreddit. There’s not a lot of activity other than me posting my articles but I’m actually seeing a little bit more there now and a couple of questions popping up. I’ve encountered the official Libre Computers reddit account here before and some of the other people in there seem to work there or be involved somehow. That’s another place you could consider where you are also pretty likely to get the attention of Libre Computers themselves (at least while they’re still this small). I have a full review for the Libre Computers “Le Potato” here and a SSD booting guide for the “Le Potato” here Once you have configured your home automation system and the sensors and devices, make sure to test them. This will ensure everything is functioning as expected. Fine-tune the automation rules to fit your lifestyle and habits. ZimaBoard also has a 40-pin GPIO header, which provides access to a range of interfaces and pins for additional functionality. The board supports a variety of operating systems, including Ubuntu, Debian, and Armbian. Pros and Cons of ZimaBoard The 10/100Mbit Ethernet port in this Le Potato review performed as you’d expect, maxing out at its theoretical maximum. Does the Le Potato have WiFi?ZimaBoard is a relatively new player in the SBC market, having been released in 2019. It was developed by ZimaBoard, a Chinese company that aims to provide affordable computing solutions to its customers. ZimaBoard is designed to be an easy-to-use platform that can be used for a wide range of applications, including home automation, gaming, and media streaming. Technical specifications of ZimaBoard lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 8 13:52 pwmchip2 -> ../../devices/platform/soc/c1100000.bus/c1108550.pwm/pwm/pwmchip2 At its core, the Libre Computer Raspbian Portability script has been designed to take a Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS operating system and modify it so that it can be used on a Libre Computer SBC. In summary, this is not a board for someone just getting started with SBCs and definitely not a board for someone looking for a turnkey solution. Meat and Potatoes Make sure you have a compatible 3D printer with a USB interface. You will need to connect the Le Potato to your 3D printer’s controller board using a USB cable. Be sure to follow the software’s installation instructions, because those instructions will tell you specifically when to connect your 3D printer to the Le Potato.

Until they weren’t and now desperately want to build all of their PC stats displays using Pis and things like that. These people are of course showing up at exactly the wrong time. They’re showing up when Raspberry Pi has lost themselves and is prioritizing big IoT industry players over consumers. They’ve become more predatory than ever and due to their closed-source hardware ecosystem it’s by design very hard to switch away from them. For anyone who just wants to run a PiHole for example this would be a much smarter board choice than the Raspberry Pi at almost 1/3rd the price. It’s also actually available for that price. wget -O "/usr/share/keyrings/libre-computer-deb.gpg" 'https://deb.libre.computer/repo/libre-computer-deb.gpg' To play retro games on your Le Potato, you’ll need to add game ROMs to your retro gaming software. Once you have dumped your games and created the ROM files, add them to the SD card and begin pointing each system to the correct folder containing your ROM files.So, this is hardly a drop-in replacement for a Raspberry Pi 3/4B computer. But it is not all doom and gloom, as the Le Potato has a spot in the sun (garden?) for certain applications. More on this below. Le Potato, a solid SBC offering from Libre Computer Use Cases Having a custom built media center with allows you to access your media content from anywhere in your home. If you have media stored on a Windows machine, for example, you can setup SMB sharing and access that media from the Le Potato, over your network. The only thing I’d say about there being fewer support resources is that people said the same thing about the Pi when I wrote some of those very resources they take for granted now on the Pi years ago. It was considered a toy and a joke and people didn’t take it seriously (and got left behind like usual in technology because the technology will move forward whether people accept it or not). Both Le Potato and ZimaBoard are designed to consume low power. Le Potato consumes around 2W to 6W, while ZimaBoard consumes around 3W to 8W. In terms of cooling, Le Potato and ZimaBoard both have heatsinks to dissipate heat. However, ZimaBoard has a larger heatsink and a fan, which makes it better at keeping temperatures low under heavy workloads. Part 5: FAQs about Le Potato and ZimaBoard

The second thing is that GPIO numbers need to be translated using their special tool. That means this board is not a perfect electrical replacement for a Raspberry Pi 3. It will probably work with most things after translation as long as there isn’t an overlay required.

Another exciting use of home automation is temperature control. You can set up temperature sensors to monitor different rooms of your home and use the Le Potato running the home automation platform to control a smart thermostat to adjust the temperature based on your preferences. This can potentially result in energy savings and a more comfortable home environment. Everything feels very snappy! It’s otherwise exactly what you’d expect Raspberry Pi OS to be (which is a good thing). Testing I/O Performance A little retro gaming on the Le Potato running Lakka.
