hi zap, minor correction: the EOMA68 *standard* will *not* require (or undergo) revision in order to support any given processor.

Especially given the whole bootlin/cedrus support. if there's a better option that goes over 2GB RAM, i'd like to use it instead. > Seems the Video Engine is available now. Let me know what you think of > this as a possible Rev2 of eoma68 the standard. again, to make absolutely clear: EOMA68 does not and *will* not undergo *any* revision to support any specific given processor. you *may* be referring to the funding and production of a card that is *COMPLIANT* with the EOMA68 specification, that happens to be manufactured in a sequence that may be numbered "2nd", where the EOMA68-A20 could conceivably be numbered "1st". > ps, I am mainly interested in this because of the possibility of > wine-staging on it. But yeah, even better it has no issues of > meltdown/spectre. :) yeah appreciated. i happened to encounter the RK3308 (i think it was that one) which is also a Cortex A53, and the RK3326 which can address up to 4GB: https://www.cnx-software.com/2018/07/23/rockchip-rk3308-rk3326-datasheet/ the only down-side of the RK3326: only one USB port, it will require an on-board USB Hub IC to support 2x USB2 for full EOMA68 compliance. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
