jmandawg 1 March 24 I pre-ordered mine, so is it safe to say all GPU/VPU functions will work perfectly out of the box? Ie. VLC/Youtube browser/desktop acceleration? ARM GPU/VPU is such a pain... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NicoD 171 March 24 C'mon guys. I still need to Order the Odroid N2 and you're pushing this in my face. It's a nice board. I love the heatsink. I'm so very interested in knowing how much weight those A57's can lift. And that GPU is a monster on an SBC. Would be awesome if that could be used by Blender or a video editor. 1 hour ago, jmandawg said: so is it safe to say all GPU/VPU functions will work perfectly out of the box? Ie. VLC/Youtube browser/desktop acceleration? ARM GPU/VPU is such a pain... You'd hope so. It's their own gpu, so they should be able to write decent software. But I don't know, it's still a development board. That googly thingy is also very sexy. But less useable by me.https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/03/04/buy-google-edge-tpu-coral-development-board-usb-accelerator/ Now the heavy work has been done by the small boys, the big ones come out to take things over I'll need to earn a bit more money if I want to be able to buy it all.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qblueRed42 Topic author 3 March 24 (edited) Just a quick note for those wondering the A57 cores are the predecessor to the A72 and A73 cores not the successor to the A53 cores. that is the A55 The Amlogic s922x with it's 4 A73 and 2 A53 cores in the odroid N2 should be better at CPU workloads compared to the 4 A57 cores on the jetson but if you need a good GPU over anything else then i think the jetson is the one to go for.

It's the successor of the A55. isn't that a bit very obvious? I don't think anyone on the Armbian forum would have doubted on that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmandawg 1 April 4 They are in stock at AAROW with free overnight shipping. I'm going to wait for some reviews on desktop usage though. I have a feeling the CPU is going to be pretty weak... https://www.arrow.com/en/products/945-13450-0000-000/nvidia 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NicoD 171 April 5 I find it strange that nowhere on the NVIDIA website can be found that it runs Ubuntu. Not in the downloads.https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/downloads Not in the download discription of Jetpackhttps://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack Not in the "getting started"https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/learn/get-started-jetson-nano-devkit#intro Not on their specs sitehttps://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/jetson-nano/ Type NVIDIA Jetson Nano ubuntu in google and you don't find any NVIDIA page. I truly can't find anything where it's written that it runs Ubuntu desktop that's written by NVIDIA, or even about Linux. I know it runs on it, I've seen people use it. Am I paranoid? Am I overlooking something? Or what is going on? (I still want it badly, and I don't know why) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just find it strange NVIDIA doesn't want to call it Ubuntu. They are also using Ubuntu Desktop which runs just awful on any ARM device. First thing I'd do is install Mate Desktop. 2 hours ago, jmandawg said: True, I guess i was expecting "apt-get install vlc kodi". My expectations were too high i guess. It isn't a media center. For that they want you to buy the NVIDIA Shield TV. So don't expect to have good media options. For that you'd be better of with an Odroid N2 or RK3399. Of course you could use it for a lot more than what they want you to. It's going to have to be the community making things happen for media stuff/gaming/... I think. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least it's SDCard based - so apt update/upgrade won't cause a lot of time-wastage, unlike the earlier nVidia dev boards. I think this is a very interesting device, and a lot of potential - I just can't spare time right now to do it justice with work stuff in hand... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
