First I'd like to thanks @Ukhellfire for his work to support this board. I'm using his (?) desktop build of armbian, but just found a kind of odd problem. My use case is very simple, as I mainly use the board as kind of remote serial console server. I don't need the desktop environment so I just disabled it with a systemctl disable lightdm and everything seemed fine. But as soon as I turned off the TV where the board is connected, CPU usage went to ~50% and "top" showed this:
If I boot the board without a HDMI connection everything seems fine.... So the problem only happens when the HDMI is connected and the tv/monitor is off! I can live with it, but may be bother someone else, so I'm reporting it.
On a side note, what is the expected load average when the board is on, but doing nothing? I'm getting a constant load around 1.10.
