Well I am having a good laugh at the RPI heat problems, there is a large growing thread of people mentioning heat, data loss, sdcard corruption and USB corruption, the RPI 3 reporting 17 - 20c below true CPU heat. Of course the fan boys are defending it, claim running CPU at 100c is fine but might need a heat sink! Users reporting heat hot enough to burn skin! Over heat and core shut downs when trying to watch youtube video in Firefox (thought it was Iceweasel by name in Linux ) Since RPI forum is known for bullying mods, flooding threads with biscuit repecies if they don't like the poster and law to them self. I think it karma come home. :-) P.s One users reported his Pi 3 by laksh » Mon Apr 11, 2016 1:10 am MPU6050 dmp program only loops 1196 times in a minute just equal to rpi1 b+.i though it would be way greater around 5x than b+.where i may be wrong.code is at github-Pibits/MPU-Pi-Demo or i2c is slower.even arduino loops around 4000 times @16mhz Yes you read that loops slower than a Arduino as 16mhz. ( evil of me but I do hope it is true ).

Hi I am no expert on anything but reading this reminded me my Phablet ( Phone crossed with a tablet ) has a Octa Core A7 CPU too. The SOC however is a 1.6 GHz mediatek and has a Mali 450 GPU. Key Features ï¬ 7 inch PLS display at WSVGA resolution (1024X600 pixels) ï¬ Weighs 260g, 191*111*10.5mm in Size. ï¬ MediaTek MT8392 chipset, 1.6GHZ octa-core Cortex-A7 processor, Mali-450MP4 GPU, 1GB RAM ï¬ Android 4.4.2 Kitkat ï¬ 8GB of built-in-storage, expandable by TF card ï¬ VGA front-facing camera & 2MP rear-facing camera ï¬ 3G WCDMA/GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS ï¬ Stereo speaker ï¬ USB host ï¬ Micro SD card slot ï¬ Standard 3.5mm audio jack ï¬ 1080p video playback ï¬ 2700mAh Li-Po rechargeable battery, 4-5 hours battery life. CUBE TALK7X model U51GT C8 If you go look up the Antutu, 3Dmark, Android bench marks you will see performance is very average! ( yes I know it is a different soc with different GPU, also how a SOC CPU is implimented affects performance too.) Listen to others peoples warnings and don't fall for the Octa Core hype!

Thank you Zandor.blood.stained it worked as loaded. However it will not let me log in! I enter root then 1234 and it wants me to change the password but although I enter 1234 then follow the prompts to make a new password it wont let me! it either says it is to short, to similar but when i put a random password it it then complains authentication manipulation error ! Whatever happened to user friendly, I am not that thick have installed numerous windows version, even burnt rescue cd's in Linux from images, had Raspbian working on Raspbian pi and Orange Pi but this a pain.

Imagewriter does not work in Win7 does not see drives. I have a Orange Pi One and using the link on this site I have downloaded Armbian. However although Suse imagewriter starts it does not see any drives to write to on my laptop and not the sdcard either. I can select Armbian but clicking copy just brings up a error. I downloaded Rufus but all that will do is format the sdcard. There is a raw file and a asc file for Armbian how do I create a sdcard to boot my Orange Pi One? using windows 7.

I am new to single board computers and have previously used Microsoft Windows computers or Android TV dongle/box. I do find it a bit odd that everyone seems to be working on their own versions of operating systems. It would be a bit like Intel coding their own Windows and AMD coding their own version of windows too. Now while people have different aims and software needs it is I think a shame all the different programmers and groups cannot come together more on software. You have the various Linuxs Then all the soc variations. Now Armbian seems a step in the right direction and you have various Socs and SBC computers, it is just a pity Xapple, Lemaker, Banana , Orange etc cannot pull together as well as the various programmers. Build like Windows etc one operating system that just loads the drivers for the hardware differences and components. I guess I am just to naive about the way things really are.

Raspberry Pi 3 is the equivalent of a Ferrari body fitted with a model T ford engine and tires. Raspberry Fanboys are always going to do their best to attract the most advertising when posting flaky benchmarks... Somebody should ask him to include hardware accelerated video in his benchmarks and how good is the Raspberry 3 in Android. I have a old MK802 type Ak802 dual core A9 @ 1.2ghz that can play better video in Android than a Rasberry.
