About this item

  • LATEST SOFTWARE SUPPORT: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Raspbian 11 support with hardware-accelerated video playback and 3D graphics. Upstream software stack featuring the latest Linux 6.x with open source graphics and video libraries. UEFI support with GRUB sofware behaves like PCs. Direct first software support and community hub for third party help to get started. Video tutorials on YouTube for commonly asked questions.
  • COMPATIBILITY AND EXTENSIBILITY: Great RPi alternative with same form factor as Pi 3 Model B for re-use with existing cases and power supplies. Identically designed 40-pin header enables hardware re-use by maintaining same pins for functions like SPI, I2C, PWM, UART, and more. Powerful GPIO wiring tool, libretech-wiring-tool, is available on Github that can quickly toggle GPIOs and dynamically control dtoverlays for faster design, testing, and learning.
  • HIGH PERFORMANCE LOW POWER: AML-S905X-CC performs faster than a Pi 3 B+ while using half the power. It is designed with power optimizations to increase sustained performance under load and reduce failures due to input voltage and current. It is one of the first SBCs to support 4K multi-codec hardware decoding and features a highly performant OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU for accelerated 2D/3D.
  • FASTER CPU AND DOUBLE THE MEMORY: Quad 64-bit 1.5GHz ARM Cortex-A53 Processors, 4K Ultra HD ARM Mali-450 750MHz GPU, 2GB of High Bandwidth DDR3, 4K 60FPS High Dynamic Range Display Engine for H.265 HEVC, H.264 AVC, VP9 Hardware Decoding and more. The top performing SBC in its price class.
  • OPEN SOURCE COMMITMENT: Libre Computer collaborates with software partners to create upstream infrastructure, drivers, and libraries for open-source projects such as Linux and u-boot that power our products. This enables us to support the latest software innovations created by the community and ensures that our products have the necessary security and software performance innovation for long term support.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the single board computer. Some mention that it has really solid boards, with rock solid stability and very solid performance. They are pleasantly surprised with its stability and performance. However, others say that it would crash after about 9 months and now it just won't boot.

51 customers mention22 positive29 negative

Customers are mixed about the compatibility of the single board computer. Some mention that it's compatible with rPi cases, and with a little work most accessories for rpi. It's also mostly compatible with all the RPi HATs, peripherals, and form factor. However, others say that regular raspberry pi OS is not compatible, there are some minor compatibility hiccups with the Raspbian image, and not all cases will work with it. It really only works well with Debian based distros, while armbian has poor SPI support.

Works great as a TV, media and for general computing
5 Stars
Works great as a TV, media and for general computing
I am very satisfied with this product. This is my first SBC that I have tried, never used a Raspbery Pi, but I do have experience with Unix (FreeBSD, Linux, AIX)..I insalled the latest Armbian Bookworm nightly CLI. Then I manually installed wdm, wmaker, xterm, mpv, kodi, kaffeine among many others X11-related and CLI applications.I purchased the heatsink and added an old recycled fan and a wifi dongle, an Apple keyboard from an old G4 MacMini, an old mini Kensington mouse plugged into the keyboard and an old Hauppauge WinTV USB.The monitor is an old NEC DVI+VGA+DisplayPort and is connected with a HDMI to DVI cable.The sound goes out of the 3.5 mil jack to Altec Lansing speakers with subwoffer.I installed several web browsers: chromium, falkon, dillo, firefox-esr and all work well. Chromium shows hardware accelleration in use.Kaffeine playing ATSC from over-the-air seems to be accellerated compared to the earlier version of Armbian Bullseye.No drivers are required for WinTV or WiFi dongle, all are included in the supplied kernel 6.1.63-current-meson64. The network is not necessary for WinTV, just a TV aerial.Here is the list of devices connected to USB:% lsusbBus 001 Device 012: ID 2040:7200 Hauppauge WinTV HVR-950Bus 001 Device 011: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp.
