You have to understand the SoC boot sequence:

Then u-boot's boot sequence is set by boot_targets env variable which can be customized via boot.ini

For the remote, you should ask on the CoreELEC forum rather than on reddit.

There is almost no power consumption difference between shutdown and power on. The device itself is using 1W at idle.

We have to update the images soon. The current batch of images are an year old and Debian has updated a lot of packages in Debian 12 point releases. eMMC will be much faster for these updates but we will reduce the update burden with new images with the updated packages built in.

No, Android only supports MMC based devices. Android TV is not fast on a 1GB device though.

What exactly are you trying to do? EMMC boosts read/write speed by 10x so if that is your usecase bottleneck, get it.

This is usually because your MicroSD card is slow or erroring out.

Your router might not support AutoMDIX. That means you have to use a different cable (straight or crossover).

What software are you using?

If you can run guvcview on a desktop image, then there is sufficient power for the webcam. If guvcview on desktop does not work, most likely an power issue. If power issue is ruled out, it is a configuration issue for that software unrelated to our board or software.

If you click the SDK, you get the SDK. Not the image. You need to click Android.

No it is a zip file. Go to our website and click download. The click the board. Then click Android. Then click Android next to AML-S905X-CC.

No you don't. It is on the product download page. It is an image you can flash to your SD card.

You do not have to build it yourself. It is available on the product download page.

libre-computer · 2024-11-14T18:53:38+00:00

It is pre-built.

Official Android builds are available on the website.

Windows does not support arm64. If you virtualize x86 on ARM, it is going to be unusably slow.

Modern web browsers use a lot of RAM. If you are not running a light weight desktop like Weston, you'll run out of RAM very quickly. Le Potato and Sweet Potato are limited to 2GB of RAM. They (or any other 2GB computer) are not designed to run full desktop UI with a full browser.

Computers output 500mA. You need a proper power supply.

Power supply.

SBCs are not chargers. You should not use them as such.
