Gregory's Server@versed_perception @alex_02 Those are cool but.. When the PI first came out the price point was <$30. For $150 I can buy a NUC.

 @versed_perception @alex_02 True True, ARM isn't a "requirement" for my work/usage. More 'low power' and 'small size'. I've looked at the IPMI BMC (pikvm) stuff for Pi and it looks cool, but almost as expensive as a standalone BMC with the way PI is pricing. Were you doing something else with your IPMI BMC? @miah @alex_02 Basically ""PiKVM"" on a Zero and using internal system board off the 5v rail (USB header) to make sure the Zero had power when the target system was not powered on. Works really well for systems with no IPMI. But those RPis are just too expensive now. It is cheaper to buy a X470D4U for IPMI then it is to adopt IPMI after the fact right now. I thought about libre but they dont have anything small enough(like the zero) yet. @versed_perception @miah you can prolly get something small with an openwrt router but those usually run mips not arm. only other board that i know of that is as small as the rpi0 is something like the usb armory, but the price point might be an issue for most. it has some nice features. i did buy the bash bunny which runs arm and debian. |
@miah @alex_02 yes you can, but it wont be Arm. The purpose of the jetson was to stay in the arm ecosystem. The only real redeeming factor of the Jetson is the Nvidia graphics. Have you seen the libre RPi alts? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Potato+ARM+libre&crid=15NICJJ8IJ95O&sprefix=potato+arm+libr%2Caps%2C117&ref=nb_sb_noss
The issue with Rpi today is the price point, even the Nano's are insane (I have used them for IPMI BMC). So I have left most ARM work behind myself.
