Libre Computer Board AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) 64-bit 4K Media Mini Computer (2GB)

Product Information

The board has an HDMI connector, 4×USB connectors, and a 100MB Ethernet socket—it also has an IR receiver. I’ll eventually get around to doing a full comparison between this Le Potato vs Raspberry Pi 4 but for now, you’ll have to make do with a summary. You will also need an SD card that can hold the uncompressed image you choose to install (16GB for the base image, 32GB for the English variant).

As expected, the temperatures drop off with each addition to the cooling arsenal though the SoC did not thermal throttle once in any of these tests so unless your ambient temperature is much higher than 25c then you may be fine if you’re not pushing it at 100% 24/7. If you’re coming from a Raspberry Pi device and you’d like to use the GPIO pins in a similar fashion, you can take a look at the Libre Computer Wiring Tool which will help you “translate” the functions. I’ll be using the Raspberry Pi 4 here so we’re fine to use a 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite. In terms of availability, both SBCs are widely available online through various distributors and marketplaces. then you should do some checking to make sure you will be able to do what you’d like to with this board.Looking at that N2 board on HardKernel was just too irresistible, such a brilliant piece of engineering. But this issue was resolved by following the instructions in this article: Deactivate GRUB2 recordfail feature. If you've made it this far, it's fair to say that you've found out that I'm a big fan of what Libre Computer is doing with its software and hardware offerings.

Not only that, but you can actually alter the image quality and resolution to get super crisp and clear image quality! It features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 CPU and a Mali-G52 GPU, making it suitable for high-performance computing applications. Le Potato and ZimaBoard both support a variety of programming languages, making them ideal for teaching coding and software development.

With that being said, I tried some Master System games on it (my favorite retro console, for some reason) and the games ran fine. The MusicBox is built atop Wheezy and I have been trying for a week now (evenings and weekends) to get git on this OS. You can also monitor the progress of your prints, control the printer’s temperature, and receive notifications when the print is complete. Using an SBC to control your 3D printer will give you so many more features and quality of life improvements for your printer. The Le Potato offers a perfect foundation for creating a home automation system that is both affordable and customizable to your specific needs.

Each retro gaming software has its own configuration process, so make sure to follow the instructions provided by the software’s documentation.

For anyone who has tried to move from a Raspberry Pi to an alternative device before this utility really stands out as a compelling reason to choose a Libre board over some of the competitors. For example, you can quickly set up a flow to download an RSS feed and send a push notification to your phone. I moved the jumper over one pin to the edge, updated my board, ran commands below and wasnt able to get anything from my servo. Using a Le Potato as a controller for your 3D printer opens up a world of possibilities for customization, optimization and adding new features to your printer.

This is not bad, since now I have learned how to work with GPIOs outside of the Raspberry Pi environment, but I wish Libre Computer had more detailed steps on how to get started using their boards as examples. Please help by spinning off or relocating any relevant information, and removing excessive detail that may be against Wikipedia's inclusion policy. This is the same system found in many smart tv boxes, so it makes sense that the Le Potato has an IR receiver.

Storage: The board has a microSD slot for storage expansion, as well as an eMMC module for built-in storage. In this article, we will take a closer look at ZimaBoard and compare it to the Le Potato, another popular SBC in the market. Whilst testing with a microSD card, as expected, updates and general use were a little slow in places. It will probably work with most things after translation as long as there isn’t an overlay required.
