The rule of thumb is there is nothing free in the Internet you have to pay one way or another -
At its re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, AWS announced the launch of Arm-based servers for EC2. Prices are very close to t3 types. a1.large 2CPU/4 GB RAM - $0.0510 per hour ( ~$37 per month) t3.medium 2CPU/4 GB RAM - $0.0416 per hour (~ $30 per month) https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-ec2-instances-a1-powered-by-arm-based-aws-graviton-processors/

I wouldn't say OSMC is better. It is different. And it probably fits better for some use cases but not for others. In general, OpenELEC is considered a dead project, LibreELEC can be a better option. It has a vibrant community and it is in an active development.
-
🤔The wrong part is probably that it does not work for me. I only see the message on a terminal window and armbian-config is in kinda a loop, it repeats it all the time.
-
Hi, There is a fresh new install. armbian-config fails with a message "There are no targets. Please check your drives". BOARD=nanopineo BOARD_NAME="NanoPi Neo" BOARDFAMILY=sun8i VERSION=5.65 LINUXFAMILY=sunxi BRANCH=next ARCH=arm IMAGE_TYPE=stable BOARD_TYPE=conf INITRD_ARCH=arm KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=zImage System diagnosis http://ix.io/1sm3

`dd` is already installed. just as an option.
-
@guidol I suspected that but I've just received the confirmation from FriendlyArm So a Mini Shield can be used with a the model as well. I'm too lazy to copy-paste images here but when I tried to compare pinout diagrams of duo and duo2 there have been flipped upside down. So even an image editor would not help me to compare them. Check the images.
-
@guidol I see. It makes sense. It is compatible with a shield board most likely. PS What a weird sense of humor 🤦🏻♂️ check out pinout diagrams of duo and duo2

I don't get why there is Half-size SSD in options? (just a bug?)
-
@NicoD Indeed. At least @odroid claimed they tested 32 GB and it worked.
-
I think it can be a good option for a home server still. I'm probably wrong but seems like other motherboards in $130-180 price range only support up to 16Gb RAM.
-
@tommy I doubt any SBC below $20 would provide an acceptable desktop user experience. Probably orange pi pc would be an option, but I've got no real experience with orangepi.
-
@tommy the best sbc for what? What is your use case?
-
wow that is impressive
-
@chwe "TV box with Linux" means TV box with Android?
-
> still a mystery to me why people want Kodi on Linux @chwe just out of my curiosity what is a better option in your opinion?
-
@Da XueI'm afraid you will have many complains about lack of SD card. I mean It would be good to have a big flashing banner >>[[ There is no SD card folks ]]<<
-
The campaign has launched.

@olivluca WG is my default for a few months, It is definitely faster but it is more CPU hungry on a server side. WG uses "modern" crypto primitives https://www.wireguard.com/protocol/ which means there is no hardware offload. Also if you are not on Linux it is an alpha quality software.
-
Gigabit does not make sense. I'm afraid you will not get more than 20mbps out of your board. This is a very very optimistic expectation, 10 is a more realistic number. OpenVPN is secure but there is a significant overhead. Having a hardware encryption can make your board slightly faster probably, but definitely will make it cooler.
-
This is exactly the reason why I think it is just a prototype or they have a different purpose (I hope not).
-
I hope a media player experience will be improved sooner or later. @TonyMac32 I see only two holes for heatsink mounting (probably). I hope it just a prototype issue.

Kickstarter campaign is about to start. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/librecomputer/390161934?ref=399083&token=2af98f81
-
@olivluca FYI I tested jellyfish-40-mbps-hd-hevc.mkv file on RPI3 and was not good. On the other hand, Le Potato plays h265 very well (LibreElec v8.90.005 ALPHA)
-
@olivluca I'm sorry for your confusion. I'm not an expert. but from my personal experience if we are speaking about Linux-base Kodi player RPI is the best option so far. Allwiner support is at a very early stage still, Amlogic support is more mature but still experimental. I have got no Rockchip boards so far. I think it would be better to ask on a Kodi or LibreELEC forums.
