  1. For those that have been following my #SBC shenanigans for awhile, here is the current status:
    1) #Pine64 RockPi Pro is still running strong as a file server
    2) Both #MangoPi (quad and pro) have been recycled
    3) #RPi zero has been set up to be a CLI sandbox to play around with
    4) #OrangePi Zero2w & #MilkV mars both have #Debian installed but are currently collecting dust. I need to find something to do with them.

    Unless something really neat comes out WITH robust support, I think my little foray into SBC will come to end; or more likely be way more sporadic.

  5. After dusting off the #sbc this weekend and tinkering with them, I have some sad news. Both of my #MangoPi (pro and quad) are being put out to the pasture. The MP pro (D1 Allwinner risc) wont post regardless the supported OS I put on it. The quad is no longer supported and I cannot find an image to flash on it; scubbing the internet has not been fortuitous.

    As for the rest the jury is out. The #OrangePi Zero 2W and RV are working fine; they are just not exciting anymore.  The #MilkVMars seems too limited and lacks support from the maker but is up and running. The #RPi Z2W is chugging along just fine.

    Unless I find something exciting and well supported, I think I’m kind of done with SBCs at this time.

  9. Took all of 5 minutes to “clean up” my #SBC set-up. I have downsized the SBC that I currently use. Now I am down to the following:

    1) @PINE64 Rockpro64 which is my mini #Debian file server (black box with stickers)

    2) #MangoPi Pro a D1 #riscv sbc for tinkering (small black box)

    3) #RPipico emulating a 128K Macintosh (grey box)

    4) #OrangePiRV2 (clear box) an 8core K1 riscv sbc also for tinkering.

    All my other sbc are collecting dust in a box until I find a use or they end up in the e-recycling bin.

  13. Since I have had no luck with getting risc-y, I have dusted off the #MangoPi Quad to play with.

    I have a #Debian sever iso installed and updated to #Trixie. #Xorg is installed and now I am compiling #CDE (Common Desktop Environment). Hopefully this turns out to be something fun.

  18. Maybe I am just a glutton for punishment, but I dusted off the #MangoPi quad to learn a new(to me) DE.

    To fill my tinkering needs, I am going to learn #JWM. I like the idea of a simple desktop/window manager; let’s see if I like it in practice.

  22. 1/13/26 Update 1: the #Debian Bullseye server iso I used had a bunch of odd problems compared to the previous #XFCE Debian iso I have used on the #MangoPi Quad.

    Did a reinstall of the XFCE iso, updated the repos to Bookworm, and installed a few #flatpaks. I thought to do #Snaps but those got #borked on a prior installation on the Mango Pi.

    Shortwave and Dillo run great. Firefox is slow but functional. Using @ActionRetro Frog Find made both browsers way more enjoyable.

  26. Oh man! I should have jumped on the #POE bandwagon earlier.

    This makes working with #SBC MUCH easier 🥳

    Behold my #MangoPi tower of POE Doom ⚡️

  30. #Ubuntu server 24.04.1 is out, and new images for all supported #riscv platforms are also out!

    The #MangoPI MQ Pro is not on that list, but the LicheeRV image can be used and boots well on it with working WiFi and HDMI text console (server; no GUI).

    After that you can reconfigure flash-kernel to use the 'real' MQ Pro device tree and everything is working as intended.

    I have a freshly re-written full-on guide to installing, (pre)configuring WiFi, changing the Device Tree and enabling Bluetooth here:

    github.com/easytarget/MQ-Pro-I

    It also has some GPIO use info, and a guide + tooling + examples for generating and using your own device trees compiled against the correct headers etc.

    As a bonus I show how to make the on-board status LED flash mesmerizingly.

  35. ive ordered this #MangoPi on aliexpress for 34$. never had #sbc before. it has 1ghz #riscv cpu with 2d acceleration and 1gb of ram. thats not much but okay for its price. i hope to install #archlinux on it, have seen some page on github. i dont even have microhdmi and usbc-usba cables yet, hope theyre not very expensive

  37. DongShan Pi Pico-W: крошечный одноплатник с современным чипсетом за 600 рублей

    Китайские производители не перестают удивлять: многие видят явные перспективы рынка одноплатных компьютеров и стараются представить целую линейку девайсов на самых разных чипсетах, а разработчики стараются использовать уже привычное и поддерживаемое долгие годы железо. К ним относятся решения на чипсетах AllWinner, RockChip, Tegra. Другие же стараются взять малоизвестный, но дешевый чип для иного круга применений, развести на нем компактную плату и продавать по цене пачки сухарей, подобные решения появляются регулярно. Один из таких одноплатников я недавно купил на AliExpress — некий DongShan Pi Pico W, на базе экзотического чипсета SigmaStar SSD210, всего за 600 рублей. И тут действительно есть на что посмотреть: два ядра Cortex-A7, контроллер TTL матриц, 2D GPU, Wi-Fi, 64Мб ОЗУ и Embedded Linux на борту. Более того, девайс поставляется в виде System on Module с переходной Evaluation-платой, что позволяет использовать это устройство в составе других гаджетов! Что это за красавец и на что он способен? Читайте под катом!
