rk3399 is 28 nm like rpi4, have much better I/O and GPU than rpi4. It's not great value for retrogaming, but definetely much better than rpi4 for what I do. And they are not expensive, this one is.

Yes, but unfortunately the RK3399 is one of the only chipsets with independent USB ports. Most (all?) other chips string their USB2 ports off of an internal hub. So if you have a robotics project that needs more than 2 USB cameras, you have no choice. Whereas with a RK3399 6 or even 8 USB cameras is easily achieved.
Another great video. Thanks a zillion for so much testing and info shared on your channel over the years...

rk3399 is getting better still, with a lot of crazy improvements coming lately, and opengl 3 support in linux on the horizon (already out experimentally). however, there are a lot of devices out there with it. i fail to see why anyone would buy a new one unless it had a unique form factor.
I'll pass on this one. I've never really been happy with the Tinkerboard S. I found Armbian to be good on it. Almost everything else I tried required lots of "tinkering" and always seemed like balance of compromises when trying to get features to work.
Yes, I'd advise most people to just get a pi4 unless you want the headache of trying to get software to work correctly. It's just not popular enough to be well supported by the community. What I ended up doing with tinkerboard s is dual booting libreelec and retropie (the rott version) to make those two tasks work correctly when I really just wanted to use armbian for both but I couldn't get the two pieces of software to work well at the same time lol. If I updated my software for retropie, the hardware acceleration of kodi was gone but if I didn't update armbian, then Kodi worked fine but I couldn't use retropie. It was annoying to say the least.
RK3399 is 2017 CPU. Period. Selling 4 years-old limited solution for this price is unacceptable. Especially considering the fact the industry of such CPUs drammatically improves every year with significant performance and functionality improvement.
these arm SBC live and die with the software/community support. I've tried so many of them and none can really match the Pi community. Unless you really need extra power I'd just buy a Pi board
Important Question: Is the device recognized as Smartphone, Tablet or Smart TV within Android? I'm interested in this because the Store-Apps are different. And some apps only run under Smartphone-Devices for example.
its great having these rpi alternatives, but if they just offer similar features i dont see the point, this thing looks great....if it didnt use an sd-card slot for storage. only thing i think that looks nice here is that maybe you can run obs on this properly without the slow workaround the rpi4 needs?
The pi will have much better community support meaning much more choices in terms of operating systems for it. If you want something easy to setup, get the pi. For example, the retropie build for the original tinkerboard is still feels very beta having numerous issues while for the pi, it is mature stable and easy to use. If the increased performance of the tinkerboard for your specific task is well supported, then that could be the way to go.
@@joshuaguenin9507 no, just no. do you honestly think that!? m.2 wifi slot is PCI express, not SATA, even then I believe the socket is keyed differently to an nvme ssd so even though it's electronically compatable you'd need an adapter.

I'm not an expert in boards and i have this dumb question...is it possible to add a small fan (instead of that B A heatsink) and all the needed stuff to make this a decent handheld video game console?
ETAPrime, do you think this board is a good alternative to a RaspberryPi 4 for an video streaming/Kodi and emulation box if a build of TwisterOS or Batocera is released for the board? I'm trying to decide if it's worth waiting for the RaspberryPi 5 if it comes out this year. I'm looking to emulate up to Dreamcast and PSP upscaled.
Hey! I can’t find any online website to buy one, where did you get it pls? And there is literally no media talking about its release, how is it possible?
Got any recommendations for a guy wanting to run a low budget windows 10 carputer? Wanting to run some basic tuning/logging software with a touch screen. Possibly dual boot for Android Auto?
I'd look into an atom or celeron based SBC. A latte panda alpha board would work if you needed a bit more power. There are some more polished looking units that are essentially tiny desktops, such as the Larkbox and it's competition.
Stopped watching at RK3399. It's time to move on from this dated chip. I can't wait to see arm evolve on the sbc similar to what we see with apple silicon
Add F-Droid and then install Auora Srore. If you want Google Play Service, you can try using MicroG. How would this run as an Android TV type device if I just wanted to use it for Jellyfin and a few other streaming apps (disney+ etc.)?
Yeah, Asus is really not trying with their SBCs. Back when I bought the Tinker Board S I had very high hopes on its ram and out of the box android capabilities, but being a 32 bit chip limits its Linux potential. Nowadays I use it as a media center for streaming, watching movies and to play Peace Walker on it. Still, a bit disappointed on it.
So, if I'm searching for a 4K Chromecast kinda setup with interactive tv support and ethernet. What should I go for? An SBC or a Mediaplayer. Please give me some recommendations.
I agree with the research. I've been using an ODROID N2+ with android and I've been pretty happy with it. Then again, I've not used it for much more than playing with emulation and running KODI.
Regarding Android and the play store missing, would FDroid be an option? If so, perhaps try the Aurora store which is anonymous Google Play and will satisfy the play services requirement for a lot of apps. Regarding this board the big heat sink is a show stopper for me.
4:45 what filesystem uses for 8TB USB drive? I don't think ex-fat, ntfs nor ext4 are part of AOSP. I currently use paragon to mount, but limitations is awfull
I bought Tinker board 2. I used original asus os, android. After i flash os to sdcard, sdcard had 15 partition and i didnt like it. Twister os didnt worked for me. Can you make video for 2 (not 2s). Or is there any tutorial for it. I used raspi before and i didnt faced these problems before.
@ETA do you think this IoT device with Android 10 (preinstalled I hope) would run Zwift? For now I am using an old desktop, but I am looking to replace it with something equally capable but less power hungry.
Looked like silverstone in that racing game, the Pi is a much better emulator, saw a guy get a GPU working on a pi4 and was gaming on it at 60FPS in 1080p
I wonder what the guys from oDroid are up to these days... And to be honest: It would be fine if all those companies would combine their efforts into one or two plattforms. I dont understand why ASUS has to build its own board rather than working with Raspberry Pi together. This way one plattform could get the support and work it needs and come with fully working android, androidTV, Linux and Windows versions and could easily be mass produced by a large OEM manufacturer... But I'll guess we're not on Star Trek here ... and the future is yet to come.
I don't think it will be a good value for retrogaming. I would choose the odroid n2+, the jetson nano 2gb or rpi4 2gb for retrogaming, on that order. rk3399, while can do retrograming (and will do better and better with panfrost, like odroid n2 with same driver), it's mostly oriented for arm desktop enthusiast and NAS. I know you dont like rk3399, and that will not change.it will be better than other boards on stuff not related to retrogaming, like I/O, for example. you dont need I/O for retrogaming.
Feeling a little, left wanting more? One, this is, well, OLD. Per comments below, really ASUS? Two, your review of this board largely is focussed on game emulation? I've a RPI 4, 8GB, SSD boot, 64 bit OS (raspberry beta which is running incredible) and I've done some electronics, some dev work, some cad work, and it's my daily driver workstation. I'm a gamer from way back to Atari pong, had a man cave full of every system known to man kind, and eventually, grew out of it. Nevertheless, unless this channel is purely gamer driven (appears to be so by this) then we are missing much more to discuss here. Aka, what market is this driven towards? Re Android, yeah, what's the point? Lastly, I'm spitting in the wind here because looking below, you haven't responded to any of the comments / questions. Leading me to believe you don't typically monitor the feedback on this channel. Sadly, leaves me wanting more. Unsubscribed.
