Libre Computer AML-S905X-CC Le Potato 64-bit Single Board ComputerRaspberry pi clone. Good Value for a SBC. With the Supply chain issues this is a less costly alternative to a number of products such as the Raspberry PI 4, Rock SBCs, BeagleBones, etc.
Key Features:
- Quad-Core 64-bit ARMv8 Cortex-A53 CPU with NEON and Crypto Extensions
- Penta-Core ARM Mali-450 MP3 GPU with OpenGL ES 2.0 @ 750MHz
- 2GB of DDR3-2133 SDRAM on 32-bit Bus for up to 69Gb/s Unified Memory Bandwidth
- Multi-Plane Multi-Format 2.5D Programmable Pipeline Display Engine with HDMI 2.0 Output
- 4K Ultra-HD High Dynamic Range Video Engine with Hardware Accelerated Decoder for VP9, H.265, H.264
- Form Factor and GPIO Compatibility with Raspberry Pi 4 for Maximum Re-usability
Supported Operating Sytem Images:
- Ubuntu 22.04 Bionic LTS
- RetroPie
- Android 9.0 Pie
- CoreELEC (Kodi)
- LibreELEC (Kodi)
- Armbian
- Debian 11 Bullseye
- Raspbian
- Lakka 2.1+ (RetroArch/Retro Gaming)
- LATEST 2022 SOFTWARE SUPPORT: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Raspbian 11 64/32-bit with support for hardware-accelerated video playback and 3D graphics. Upstream software stack featuring the latest Linux 5.19 with open source graphics and video libraries. Most PC-like single board computer on the market with images based on UEFI booting and GRUB. Direct support available on community hub forum to help get started. Video tutorials available on YouTube.
- COMPATIBILITY AND EXTENSIBILITY: Form factor compatible with the Pi 3 for re-use with existing cases and power supplies. 40-pin header enables hardware re-use by maintaining compatible GPIO pin functions like SPI, I2C, PWM, and UART. Our powerful GPIO wiring tool, libretech-wiring-tool, is available on Github that can quickly translate from header or BCM GPIO numbers to sysfs and gpiod numbering. Dynamic dtoverlay support 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.
It is designed as a hardware alternative for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and offers faster performance, more memory, lower power, higher IO throughput, 4K capabilities, open market components, improved media acceleration, removal of the vendor locked-in interfaces, and Android support. This platform uses the latest technologies and is built upon proven long term available chips. It is supported by upstream Linux offers ready-to-go 4K media decoding, 3D acceleration, and more.
*** This device does not feature a power supply, wireless connectivity, or onboard storage. It is recommended to purchase these items separately. This is for the hardware only and there is no software sold as part of this package.***
It can be used to tinker with electronics, teach programming, build media centers, create digital signage solutions, play retro games, establish bi-directional video, and unlock imaginations. It is available 2GB configuration while utilizing a large existing collaborative ecosystem of parts for creators to build new and exciting products and services.
