Features & details
LATEST SOFTWARE SUPPORT: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Raspbian 11 support with hardware-accelerated video playback and 3D graphics. Upstream software stack featuring the latest Linux 6.x with open source graphics and video libraries. UEFI support with GRUB sofware behaves like PCs. Direct first software support and community hub for third party help to get started. Video tutorials on YouTube for commonly asked questions.
COMPATIBILITY AND EXTENSIBILITY: Great RPi alternative with same form factor as Pi 3 Model B for re-use with existing cases and power supplies. Identically designed 40-pin header enables hardware re-use by maintaining same pins for functions like SPI, I2C, PWM, UART, and more. Powerful GPIO wiring tool, libretech-wiring-tool, is available on Github that can quickly toggle GPIOs and dynamically control dtoverlays for faster design, testing, and learning.
HIGH PERFORMANCE LOW POWER: AML-S905X-CC performs faster than a Pi 3 B+ while using half the power. It is designed with power optimizations to increase sustained performance under load and reduce failures due to input voltage and current. It is one of the first SBCs to support 4K multi-codec hardware decoding and features a highly performant OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU for accelerated 2D/3D.
OPEN SOURCE COMMITMENT: Libre Computer collaborates with software partners to create upstream infrastructure, drivers, and libraries for open-source projects such as Linux and u-boot that power our products. This enables us to support the latest software innovations created by the community and ensures that our products have the necessary security and software performance innovation for long term support.

    There's also a 2gb ram 2 pack for £80 if you look at the other options on Amazon but I'm hesitant to post a deal on such a similar product.

    The S905X is really old now (2016), replaced mine with S905X3's about two years ago and the S905X4 has been out at least a year. (edited)

    Agreed, but this is made to replace a pi 3 for anyone who doesn't need WiFi, Bluetooth or gigabit Ethernet.
    It can't compete with the pi 4 but it's not meant to.
    If you want to run pihole or something with an up to date kernel without breaking the bank there are worst chipsets.

    Voted cold because it isn't a PS5.

    But then changed my mind and swapped it to hot because after comparing, I realised that this is much cheaper than a Ps5.

    But more expensive than a Potato...

    Ordered one to replace a raspberry pi b+

    Is there any good and low power soc I can use to replace a qnap Nas?
    Raid is needed... Asking too much...

    Heat added, very good price for the hardware, I was tempted but I don't have a use case for this

    I use rpi4 with I think "Radux" had. Does have a raid and gigabit internet. Can't complaint really.

    Has anyone used one of these with Octoprint? Waiting for the Pi Zero 2W to come back into stock but it may be a while...
