Lucky you. I ordered this board with the Ubuntu pre-installed version. My order is pending like a month.
After your video, I'm very exciting to work with this board. Hope it's worth for waiting :)
Hm, can that hdmi input be used as an input to hyperion for protected streams?
@Technically Unsure: Thanks for the vido, but why do you keep pointing at the yellow envelope while reading the specs on your monitor (not visible to the viewer)?
Where did you get the ubuntu image files from? They’re not available on radxa‘s website and it would be awesome if you could share them

That flashing experience really feel like flashing androd phone😂.
Interesting there's AV1, but no h265
Probably royalties :-(
Isn't hevc mean h265?
@@husanaaulia4717 yes, thank you for pointing that out. I somehow missed it in the diagram.
I would like to see how this fairs against the rk3588s, aka rock 5. The only difference would be the gpus but would be great to see a comparison
Looks like RK3588 has faster memory and bigger NPU
@@charlesgomes9268 yeah and it you get the rock 5b it has pcie gen 3x4 nvme lane which is much faster for the ssd, or if you want to code into the linux kernel some have gotten egpu's working through nvme adapters. Perf should be the same as thunder bolt ports
Darn I just managed to get a Genio 500 board on eBay a month ago after searching for a cheap Mediatek sbc for ages, but way overpaid at $200 given this Genio 1200 is available for same. Mediatek is a serious contender, looking forward to their Snapdragon X competitor (possibly in collaboration with Nvidia) in 2025.
Radxa makes good boards but they are too slow on creating drivers, specially Gpu for their boards. Good video.
Radxa don't really make any drivers, their suppliers do.
Are there any major differences between the ARM A76 cores and these A78 ones? Clock speeds are the same right?
Quad-core ARM Cortex-A78 clock is 2.2 ~ 2.4GHz and the Quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 is @ 2.0GHz
@@TechnicallyUnsure right but I’m talking about the difference between A76 which is in Pi5/RK3588 and the A78 in here
Ahhhh, yes, then in that case you are correct. They are same. Even you can see initially when I am doing benchmark without involving the other quad cores, I get the same score as RK3588 and Raspberry Pi
you said it wasn't showing you the GPU but there must be a kmod loaded, right? like it wasn't doing video playback via framebuffer??
Yes, I believe so
Hello, very interesting video, I have some comments. 1. can you try PS2 emulation using AetherSX2? Preferably on Android as it should support Vulkan (and probably turn off GPU pallette conversion as the CPU is fast). What resolution does it run smoothly? 2. Mali-G57 should be already supported by mesa, is it even installed? It could also be disabled in the device tree and then you'd need an overlay to enable it. 3. The GPU has little to do with video playback or recording acceleration, it is handled by a VPU. You can have a board with no GPU and still have hardware accelerated playback (like Rock 5c lite), but only if the drivers support it.
Thanks for the info. I tried AetherSX2 1.5 and it worked perfectly and God of War loaded without issues at 1080p res. As for Mali-G57, I used official image, I hope and expect that they have it installed. Currently my board does have Android and bunch of apps on it, I might go back to Ubuntu later and try again with manually trying to install Mesa. As for VPU, you are right, I installed all packages I could for graphics, honestly I might have installed Mesa too, but not really sure, still results are what you see in this video. Don't get me wrong, it's still super fast, very low power consumption and not much heat either. One can absolutely use this board as daily driver and do web surfing and/or coding etc. just 4k video playback was a bit let down in Ubuntu which I'm sure is a software issue and can be fixed with some driver for GPU/VPU
@@TechnicallyUnsureohh, great! 1080p PS2 finally smooth on an SBC!
Hey what's that power monitor you're using?

The web site says its unique trait is AI (2 core APU), but doesn't give out any specs (GFLOPS or TOPS performance?). Seems like a low power focused edge device with 512 GB or less storage budget, and 16 GB memory budget. Maybe a back end for a camera post running computer vision tasks or something.
Edit - oh, 4 TOPS.
LSPCI
Is this RISC-V or Arm?
Yes, this is RISC-V CP with ARM Cortex cores.
who forgot to put nvme onboard? where's the NPU? why do knuckleheads do that?
Does every SBC need a NVMe drive and NPU? Some people use these for lower-budget projects, not as their homemade NAS/AI accelerator. Also, this SBC has a 4 TOPS AI accelerator, according to the manufacturer.
Yeah, NVME uses a lot of power. Not everyone needs it. UFS is plenty fast.
