The specs on this SBC are strange. Namely lowering performance. Generally, they tend to boost performance, not cut it. Why bother putting an audio jack with mono output? They removed a bunch of hardware too, surprising some of their decisions.
I was laughing when I read "Rockchip RK3566 and RK3568 are mostly software compatible"... that's a "they aren't compatible". In computers, there's no such thing as mostly compatible. Either they're compatible or they're not. LOL. Reminds me of "we mostly have freedom of speech." Right.
ODROID-M1S. The "S" designator obviously means slow. LOL.
I did like the eMMC flash feature. That's cool.
Cost the driving factor here? Since you can't get a Pi without selling an arm, a cheap alternative may be attractive.
Yup. Last I looked the price of RPis has dropped significantly, at about $60 for a 4gb model, but you typically don't need high performance for specific applications, like monitoring sensors, etc.
I'm surprised they've come back down to that level. Are they available, tho?
