Thank You for the review -I just found your channel and I am so super bummed out that I never knew you were out there when I had the original TB ( Your book ) and support . I just got the TB2 from ebay a very excited to fire it up - I read all the reviews for the TB2 prior and they seemed mostly written by RPI Diehards that quite frankly never go against the grain in terms of venturing off into this vast SBC world. I still don't know why I gravitate to the TB and hope the support picks up from ASUS and others. .
Thanks for this review! I own an original Tinker Board (and your book, actually), but the lack of support and, well, INTEREST from Asus in their own product was rather disheartening. Naturally, I was interested in seeing how the new Tinker Board 2 stacks up and how Asus was supporting it.
I still haven't seen any gaming performance videos from Tinkerboard running something Linux. That's something I'd like to see before investing, since on paper this should perform better than Rpi4, but I know thats dependent on drivers, etc.
I bought the Original TinkerBoard S some time ago and the lack of support was a problem. I used to run Pure Data (for audio synthesis) on it and I spent lots of time to discover how to make it work using the 3.5mm audio hack. But I think that indeed its hardware is better than the Raspberry Pi 3. I am also not sure if the community will contribute in the same way that is with the RPi.
Asus really dropped the ball with its Tinker Board product line. I bought a Tinker Board S back in the day because it had more ram than the Pi 3+ and had Android out of the box for making a small media center. Unfortunately, its 32 bit hardware and abysmal software support have given me buyers regret. It still works as a diminutive Home Theater, but it doesn't do much than that. :(
I feel like the SBC craze has come and gone. With the chip shortage I feel like it isn’t worth the gamble to crank out a board like it was 2-3 years back. It also makes me think about what the Raspberry Pi Foundation said it would be doing going forward-software development. The hardware is getting more sophisticated and it requires more work to make it work. I think the days of getting some half baked GPU driver from Android and porting it to Linux are gone. Nvidia sees the benefit of getting people to develop for ARM but you also see the for profit motive behind the price of their hardware.
7:07 - nope, I care. :) Granted, mostly only on an abstract theoretical level. And I guess also, by extension, as an expression of solidarity… but still. :)
I LOVE, how you LOVE color coded headers :) And because of that love I also bought color coded header for my Zero 2 W.
Great review. Good content, well described and very well presented.
I have been waiting for this video!

i would love to explore that. i may check back in on the board in a couple of months from this angle
It's just so sad 🙄 tinker board with Nvidia Jetson mini are the only "real" competitors to the raspberry and their software support are so bad 😔
Awesome video thank you for the review!
thanks!
The problem with PI4 is, its virtually impossible to get one, not scalped for triple the price.
wonder how the rpi4 would perform with a 64bit OS and the TB2 heatsink :D

Is it true that even 720p video is lagging on tinker board?
Cool t-shirt ☺️
I can never find these?? They don't even ship to Canada.
yeah they do seem to be incredibly hard to find
Nice video I like the use of python for data analysis...
☺

i agree, i think we're going into a new era as far as single board computers goes
Hey, I'm wearing that same shirt!

These graphs look like a computer from the 80s or even 70's? And you say you wrote a book on a newish SBC? LOL I will buy that!! Presentation much
It is way too expensive!
I LOVE THE ASUS BRAND! I'm intertwined with ASUS myself, but damn can't they do a little bit better? MEH!
tks brazilian
what the hell was that crap at the beginning of your video? Ruined a perfectly good thing with the social justice. gross
