<fossxplorer> Guys, what's a good ARM device to run simple Linux tasks with nowadays?
<orly_owl> something with a10 or a20 soc usually
<orly_owl> #linux-sunxi is the channel for that
<orly_owl> there is a wiki as well
<orly_owl> fossxplorer: ^
<Flashtek> I has a cubietruck
<orly_owl> thats a nice board
<Flashtek> A20, 2gb ram, 2gb nand, bt, wifi, sata, uSD
<Flashtek> optical out, hdmi and vga also
<Flashtek> and two USB ports
<fossxplorer> orly_owl, ok
<Flashtek> there is also #cubieboard for the specific discussion of...
<fossxplorer> Flashtek, i thought about Truck too, but there is a new one coming?
<fossxplorer> A8...
<Flashtek> A80.. not before Christmas (was the last I heard)
<fossxplorer> Flashtek, but is the C.T stable?
<fossxplorer> Oh, that's far away then
<Flashtek> I've not had mine long enough to comment on that
<fossxplorer> OK
<Flashtek> like, a week
<fossxplorer> i see
<Flashtek> and only got Debian working on it Sat morning
<fossxplorer> What's your impression so far?
<fossxplorer> ok, cool.
<Flashtek> it was a PITA to get a working image... but now I have it, seems good
<Flashtek> I've attached a 80gb SSD
<Flashtek> rather cute if you ask me
<fossxplorer> NIce :)
<Flashtek> shame it doesn't have an external port for the aerials
<fossxplorer> WIFI?
<Flashtek> it has WiFi and Bluetooth
<fossxplorer> You could use USB Wifi though
<fossxplorer> yeah, i know, but you meant WIFI antenna?
<fossxplorer> aerials i.e
<rz2k> ct has chipantenna
<rz2k> recommended for this module
diego_r has joined #arm-netbook
<rz2k> which is bcm4329 wifi+bt+fm radio combo by some chinese company
<orly_owl> fossxplorer: a10 and a20 are the better socs right now, the Mali 400 gpu works with free software
focus has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<fossxplorer> orly_owl, so i could even run Android without GPU issues?
<orly_owl> hmm well it would run
<orly_owl> it may not play 1080p video smoothly
<orly_owl> fossxplorer: there might be some minor issues
<fossxplorer> Driver or HW-issue?
<orly_owl> driver
<mripard_> orly_owl: this only argument is not actually not an argument. The raspberry pi and the latest tegra too. Plus all the qualcomm.
<orly_owl> come again?
<mripard_> saying "it's the better soc because it has a free software driver" is just non-sense.
<mripard_> a lot of other SoCs have free software GPU drivers nowadays.
<mripard_> some of them backed by the GPU vendors even.
<fossxplorer> What about RK3188? It's a better SoC than A20 performance wise i guess
<mripard_> I don't have hard figures, but yeah, given the CPUs involved, it's a reasonable assumption
<mripard_> however, you'll find fare more easily dev boards based on the sunxi SoCs
<mripard_> plus the community is actualyl much stronger around the allwinner SoCs
<fossxplorer> mripard_, like the C.T?
<mripard_> yeah, or the olinuxinos, or the cubieboard, or the pcduino, etc..
<fossxplorer> Oky
<fossxplorer> olimex has quite some boards
<fossxplorer> Wondering is the 10" from olimex would be usable with C.T
<mripard_> no idea
* fossxplorer dreams about building a digital photo frame with such a device
