#rockpi — Public Fediverse posts

I'm looking for a tiny, capable ARM SBC for my home network that is fully supported by FreeBSD.

The RockPi or Pine64 looks promising. Can anyone confirm these work well without jumping through hoops?

#FreeBSD #RockPi #Pine64 #ARM #SBC

And I also discovered a cool way of cloning your #Radxa setup into an image using their ready made script.

Works really cool and pretty fast - maybe due to the fact it's running on an eMMC instead of a micro SD card.

An image of a 32GB eMMC ended up as a
7.4GB uncompressed image, which then can go down to like 3-4 GB archived. Sweet.

The script is here btw:

à propos: Radxa viens de lancer le RockPi 5C, successeur prometteur du RockPi 4. Expérience faite avec le 4B c'est une vrais bête en termes de hardware et prestations.
La marque proposé des modules d'expansion optimisés et performants comme le module PCIe2.0/NVMe testé.
Cependant contrairement au Raspberry Pi, les systèmes d'exploitation du RockPi demandent davantage de bidouillage pour être optimisés.

New bog post: Installing NixOS on RockPI 4C. I finally reinstalled my home server to something I am confident won't fail over when I look wrong at it (and if it does, I can just reinstall from a config file).

Housing for my Rock Pi E arrived. Thanks https://kksb-cases.com/

Haven't found any better case for the money. Made from steel, powder coated, fits just perfectly 👌

The delivery arrived during the week, and I was able to do some tests. But until now, I like this SBC almost the best as a raspberry pi alternative. The features and performance are perfect!

Ahh that's crap, the SD card snapped in my #radxa #RockPi

I'm unfortunately not surprised, but it shows one of the things you sacrifice with an edge mounted SD card reader like this.

#introduction

By day I work as a cloud engineer working heavily with both #aws and #gcp technologies.

By night, I like to mess around with my kubernetes cluster of #raspberrypi and #rockpi single board computers or experiment with VMs and GPUs. Like streaming multiple games on VMs on the same computer.

Sometime I play a game or two on a steam deck.

I was able to create a #frankenstein #rockpi install for my #4cplus using the #ubuntu #bootloader and #slackware root #filesystem It worked but was not ideal
This time I'm going to follow this #guide and see what I get https://jamesachambers.com/radxa-rock-pi-4c-plus-ssd-boot-guide/

screwing around with my #rockpi4cplus again .. #pi #rockpi
Getting #nvme boot going is a bit tricky

Talking about Single Board Computers
Due to the current shortage of Raspberry Pi's around the globe, OKdo (https://www.okdo.com/) has started to invest in another Single Board Computer (SBC) called the Rock Pi.

This SBC contains a very similar layout to the Raspberry Pi 3 but has the speed and power of the Pi 4 with extra abilities (see the table further below for more details).

I am being offered
