Gregory's Server@Natanox That is marketing-speak that could well mean software that is written to take advantage of the specifics of the processor, which may be just as bad as using NVidia specific stuff to render 3D graphics. I don't think that is enough to justify the outrage I'm seeing here. Further, all Raspberry Pi processors currently lack a built-in network interface. It'll be easier for any network communication to share the interface if it is managed by the OS.

@Natanox I guess I don't understand these standards. I ignore the Broadcom specific graphics on the RPi in my projects, and I expect ignoring Sony AI stuff will work just as well, so I don't see a problem here. Working with Sony is nothing new; they've been doing it for years. Hiring a cop is concerning, and their social media response was a shit-show that Liz Upton defended nonsensically, but that is a different issue. RISC-V certainly is interesting, but Sony could make one with their AI stuff |
@jjackowski It's hard to be worse than the average desktop computer. However there are way higher standards by the community for these SBCs.
Additionally it's also a political problem for many people. Hiring a cop or working with too-big-to-fail tech giants is an absolute no-go for them.
There's a strong move towards RISC-V SBCs lately too (Open-Source, nothing proprietary), as those are fully open, which is telling you quite a lot about what a huge part of the customer base is looking for.
