  • At the Embedded World 24 event, Libre Computer's Chief Product Officer, discussed their renowned position in the industry. They highlighted their commitment to building single-board computers (SBCs) with upstream open-source software, contributing significantly to projects like the Linux kernel, Yocto, Mesa, and various user-space utilities. Their SBCs, including the Alta board showcased, follow a Pi3 form factor to maintain compatibility with existing accessories and reduce electronic waste, a core goal of their project.
    The Alta board, priced at $60, boasts impressive performance comparable to a Pi5 but slightly slower. Powered by an Amlogic chip with four Cortex A73 cores and a potent GPU, it excels in AI-based tasks, making it a compelling option in its price range. Libre Computer collaborates with Rock Chip and Amlogic, focusing on energy efficiency, with idle power consumption not exceeding a few watts, a significant consideration for devices operating 24/7.
    With over 200,000 boards sold, Libre Computer has attracted commercial demand due to its strategy of leveraging upstream software, ensuring access to the latest kernels and tools. Notably, all their boards share the same Linux kernel, with each having a specific bootloader embedded, abstracting hardware differences while maintaining software consistency. This approach facilitates the deployment of standardized solutions across diverse applications, from large solar arrays to digital signage.
    Libre Computer's emphasis on upstream open source aligns with industry trends, ensuring compatibility and future-proofing for users. By bridging hardware, software, and solution aspects, they aim to provide an easy-to-use development platform that appeals to the open-source community. This commitment stems from Da's background as a cloud engineer, recognizing the need for standardization in embedded systems.
    The company's partnership with Red Hat and contributions to projects like Mesa underscore their dedication to the open-source ecosystem. By focusing on Debian as the primary Linux distribution and providing standardized bootloaders, Libre Computer enables users to bootstrap any Linux image onto their boards effortlessly, a feat unprecedented in the SBC market.
    Their flagship board, the s905x, remains popular despite newer releases, priced at $35 and readily available. Libre Computer's manufacturing and testing processes prioritize reliability, crucial for diverse applications ranging from edge computing to server deployment. Moreover, their hardware-agnostic approach ensures seamless integration and scalability across platforms.
    Da's compulsive commitment to doing things correctly reflects in Libre Computer's automated testing procedures, ensuring software security and longevity. Their engagement with the community and adherence to upstream principles position them as pioneers in the SBC market, poised to lead as upstream open source becomes the standard.
