>buying shit stuff
why would you ever chose this over odroid or rockpro64 or another actually capable soc

Because this can do RGB output to a 15kHz display and those can't even do VGA

Chink $10 orange pi zero still going strong after one year running 24/7.

Quality sd card with fast 4k writes is a must.

going to buy that same stack for a pihole user, what sd card are you using?

SD card dies

I've started doing OS for it and holy shit the VPU is scary.
Any other SBC that has QEMU machine support, has some graphical chip so not everything has to be software rendered, and is fully open source? 64-bit is optional, I can deal with 32-bit. Can be maybe even 2x as expensive, the display is the most expensive part anyway, or even RISC-V, but no x86 please. Linux or other non-toy OS support would also be great so I have reference implementation.

FAT32 is SD card destroyer

My rpi model 2b has been going strong for nearly 4 years now

Samsung orange evo 32gb but there are now high endurance cards available which are more suitable for this role.

My Pi 1B, 1B+, 2B and 3B are still working. All of them bought at their respective first release dates.

I have 4 of these and they all have passive coolers and don't die. Don't put them in an air sealed box and it is fine.

Overpriced crap, but it has official flashrom support. I felt bad that I bought it over a SBC from PINE64, but I just wanted a smooth experience. As a SPI flasher that I use as a headless machine so it only needs the connection to a chip and power, it works just fine. It's also supposed to have 2 SPI interfaces, so flashing 2 ROMs at once might be possible.
It's a decent core/libreboot flasher, although it could be cheaper considering competition and it's crappy specs.

10 RPi 2's constantly reading from sd cards for playing commercials 24x7, still working after 4 years on cheap sd cards

never seen it
what did you do to it

>buying cucked drm'd sbc
>unironically
Look at the rock64 instead, for rpi prices.
You'd have to be an absolute moron to buy a rpi.

same, my pizero has been on 24/7 for 2 years and it is still kicking

I have a 2, 3, and Zero that have been working fine for years. Wtf are you doing with it to break it?

Pine is starting to look like a really great alternative to RasPi these days. Would be great if they ever got to a point where they can develop their own SOCs instead of getting chink ones.

Would be kind of amazing if they made an interchangeable board for their laptops and tablets too.

SD cards tend to have near unlimited reads lifespan. Plus it's sometimes cached in memory by OS. Passive reads are ok.
Writes are big deal. To begin with, SD cards have limited write lifespan. But the worst on it is fat32. Regular files can just be managed to prioritize least-used space, but all the file and directory creations go through allocation table which is always on the same address, thus dies way faster then any other sector.
Some workflows use it sparely thus it can life for years, some workflows can destroy it in no time.

Mine has been constantly running for the past 4 years.

>Rockchip
Only a few of their SoCs are actually open

Ok so which PINE64 could I buy for my purposes? >can develop in QEMU to enjoy gdb integration
>multi-core
>some graphical chip
>Linux support
>as open as possible (firmware-wise)
>good documentation
PINE A64, PINE A64-LTS, ROCK64?

They sell one of their SBCs as a SO-DIMM board along with an IO adapter and a cluster board. Such design would be nice for another pinebook. Still, I'd love to see laptops with easily available GPIO pins to let people mess around.

same here my man

Same

Been telling you, user.
Rock64. No camera DRM nonsense, no boot from GPU blob nonsense, actual USB ports including USB3, actual gigabit ethernet, reliable mmc interface, mali (see lima project) gpu, usable amount of ram, rpi pricing.

loonix support seems to exist, good
but there seems to be no machine support for QEMU. Is JTAG or anything similar a possibility so I can literally step the code and inspect registers?
(or learn how to add machine to QEMU and do some first contributions to open sores)

>RPi 1b+ still going strong after 5 years, use it as home server, syncthing client, web server, etc.
