nvh Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hello, is the new Orange pi Zero LTS supported by Armbian? It's the same chip and same stuff but they claim they have reduced the power consumption and lower the board’s temperature. Do you think they have archived that by manipulating the hardware or by lowering the frequency and stuff via software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvh Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Is there any schematic of the new board? I can't find much technical information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unclear to me whether he means the internal design of the chip or the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have read that 2 articles but there seems to be no technical information about how they managed to lower the temperature, just comments and guesses. I hope the manufacturer will publish the new schematics or someone who bought the board could give more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you care so much about it? Yes probably they have achieved something by software and not that much anyway. I was just curious if someone knew more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Maybe someday someone will do some reverse engineering of this "open source board" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
