Picking the right SBC.... (I hope)
03/26/2018 at 16:17 • 0 commentsProduct selection time!
After debating the SBC for the heart of this, I decided on the orange pi one v1.1, I was able to source 20 of them, for a cost with shipping of 7USD.
Why this SBC?
- Ethernet! (This excluded the raspberry pi 0 models)
- Full size usb port
- Has test points for the audio out
- supports hardware h265 encoding (support is still sketchy)
- 512 MB ram, we need at least 48mb free memory for our ramdrive
- Looks like it supports booting from SPI to netboot (maybe)
- Quad core 1.2 ghz processor
- Small! (for its features and IO)
- CSI Camera port
