Hi!
I would mainly use this board to upgrade my current low power nas running on rk3399 (rockpro64 with OMV) and gift my old board to my brother who is learning programming.
Because my current nas has some limitations :
Rk3399 limited by transcoding capabilities for ultra high resolutions (no tone mapping for hdr->sdr, limited x265 encoding/decoding, no av1 decoding)
Slow sd card speed (my rockpro64 is hardware limited to 22.5mb/s). Importing Emmc is expensive, especially in europe where we add tax duties.
Pci 2.0 only for my nvme ssd
Only 1gb ethernet, 2.5gb is better for copying files over my nvme that is on my nas and in the future if my network and nas infrastructure improves (disks, internet speed, ...)
I will also use it to test some projects such as ollama for LLM, it will be fun to see if it is better or worse than my old 2gb quadro p400 😅
I am mainly more interested about the RK3588 chip capabilities and integrated emmc of this bananapi m7 board, and it will be handy to solve my current limitations.
Good luck for the contest!
