Initial thoughts on the Radxa X4

Hey all!

I received my X4 yesterday and have given my initial thoughts on the board (and the PoE HAT/cooler) at https://bret.dk/intel-n100-radxa-x4-first-thoughts/

If you have any questions, or specific things you’d like me to take a look at, let me know and I’ll do my best :smile:

Would you be interested in trying Android x86? I’m curious as to the N100 temperature when running android.

It’s not something I really have experience with but if you can point me in the right direction of an image/installation then I can see if I can squeeze it in at some point!

Android-x86 - Porting Android to x86

should be a very straightforward install.

Nice review, it seems like the bottom cooler isn’t ideal for working with hats in the end…
What have you tried to do with gpio ?
Just toggle on/off or PWM/Serial interfaces ?
If you haven’t, could you try sending UART/I2C frames over the gpio ?
Thanks again for the initial review !

Will look into it at some point this week hopefully. It’s a bit hectic at home at the moment!

I’ve not actually tried anything yet, I’ve had a quick look to see how I’d interact with it but I didn’t see it as a super critical part for my first review. I’ll get to it in followup pieces though and will take a look.

Have a good week!
