Arace is some kind of fresh view here, they describe every product in easy to understand way and pay attention to some details on their shop. This is very nice and makes easier to order for some people. It’s just nice to have some alternative because there are two stocks. Also they have somo promo, like the one for BF that are really interesting
It was on Arace site with price lower than 16G Allnet version. Somebody received 16G instead of 32G version, but others are happy, probably arace solved somehow this issue, so it’s worth to order that when it’s yet again available. Probably those 2x16G chips will more accessible in future and with lower prices, and probably pi5 will also get 16G version.
Meles should share most of Lichee 4A features and software, I think it’s just more capable board with bettter format than Lichee. It’s incredible how Risc-V is developing, still there are several software issues and workarounds but it’s promising. ARM invested in raspberry some money to keep his position (and probably to block RiscV move from them), but we should see at some point Radxa on this arch. I know they already involved in SF boards, but still nothing branded by them, this should change sooner or later.
Wow, at some point I was looking for something like this, but at larger scale.
I saw one project with 4x raspberry pi zero w that implemented several things - each one connected via usb to active usb hub (+ power), where there was connected usb ethernet adapter, all of them connected to ethrenet switch, which of course needed own power. This made whole setup just huge and with big cable spaghetti
I hope that some day we will have some kind of “usb hub with power and ethernet”, same idea as here but for multiple ports (usb-c) and ethernet + power on the other side.
