Hello together, Hello Peter,
I've a look at the Pine64 store and didn't found what I'm looking for.
Requirements:
- CPU: min 4 core @ 2 GHz
- RAM: min 8 GB
- Storage: PCIe M.2 M-KEY (SSD) Socket, eMMC + SD-Card
- Ethernet: Gigabit
- USB3 + USB2
I've found Orange Pi 5
(
http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontrollers/details...)
but it's not available yet.
Will this device work with Fedora? Are there other devices with this
requirements ?
It will eventually, the support upstream isn't complete yet for the
rk3588, hardware with that SoC is only just starting to ship. I am
getting a Rock5 board which is based on the same SoC which I ordered
back in May and I got a shipping notification yesterday.
