Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@stevenofford495 says : your humer is dry & occasionally sureal>> <<@lucasdonasfalcin3012 says : i have a Mango pi MQ-PRO, but bluetooth dont work 😞>> <<@luigiprovencher says : What RISC-V SBC would you recommend to first time RISC-B SBC buyers?>> <<@dragosbogdan3450 says : Hi. I want more information about the pads on the pcb and how to connect every pin.>> <<@keith819 says : Settled on buying one of these to fiddle with over a 200$ Risc V tablet. Should be enough to get my feet wet. I've no luck with emulators>> <<@TheMissingxtension says : "RISC architecture is going to change everything" 1995. Its amazing how fast this actually is, this would not be possible 10 years ago. Has anyone built a dragonfly imagine?>> <<@Oarsman41 says : Ok sounds compelling, but what exactly does all that stuff you’re saying mean?>> <<@sativagirl1885 says : When Ronald Reagan was President, he would have approved of the Mango Pi MQ-Pro for *Star Wars*>> <<@boriscrisp518 says : that barnet always gets me>> <<@RonJohn63 says : "Armbian on RISC V" is more than a bit amusing.>> <<@druzyek says : Great video! Did you notice in your tests whether this board has a low power or sleep mode? It would be useful to wake it up with a microcontroller without having to go through the complete boot process for certain things.>> <<@abarth0800 says : Really nice demonstration. I'd like to see with a lighter wm like icewm or i3>> <<@hadlock says : Armbian is running a lot better now than it was in March 2023. I got it to boot to desktop with xkde but graphics operations were measured in minutes. This almost looks like a 386 which is mostly rendering things in a reasonable amount of time.>> <<@vmened says : How to connect CSI DVR camera to mango pi mq pro with 18pin fpc single board pc? If i uderstand corectly i should design own extension board. Im right?>> <<@catalinbadalan4463 says : But can it run Crysis?>> <<@Drak976 says : 2d graphic accelerator. Oh baby.>> <<@imnottheonlychris says : I love your work, Chris. You have the right attitude, foresight, perspective and knowledge to make these videos a cut above the rest. I will see you again.. verrry soon.>> <<@danted1329 says : Isn't Radxa zero 2 coming out also?>> <<@nfineon says : The rate of development is going to EXPLODE by orders of magnitude compared to x86 and ARM which are already mature... The cost, simplicity and open nature make RISC V a better future proof platform for the masses. I expect China will lead the way in development so expect trillions in investment as they are being forced to do so geopolitically.>> <<@MrJugNut says : LOL "If you were interested in inspecting every frame in a video then this would be perfect" I immediately started humming to myself, Monty Python's "always look on the bright side of life". Good on you Gary keep up the awesome work I luv your channel.>> <<@zyroxiot9417 says : thanks>> <<@Hazmatguy117 says : Surprised it’s not called grapefruit pi>> <<@brunesi says : While the advancements in RISC-V are certainly exciting, it's crucial that manufacturers feel motivated to provide robust driver support. Based on my research, it seems FTDI currently doesn't offer support for RISC-V, limiting it to x86, x64, ARM, and MIPS32 (as per AN_220). Recent Ubuntu releases that I've used all natively support FTDI without any additional installation required. I'm genuinely curious if Chris's successful Ubuntu server installation included any inherent kernel or distribution support for such devices.>> <<@DiyEcoProjects says : 10:59 LOL>> <<@nightcoder5k says : Can you boot from a 128GB micro SD card?>> <<@JohnK68 says : Risc ........... this brings me back to the AMIGA TRANSPUTER PROJECT how glorious it was in its days. Who doesn't remember the T800!?!?!>> <<@JohnK68 says : But but....... Mango is yellow ;(>> <<@timsousa3860 says : The amount of bloat is unbelievable>> <<@stevenshiller1600 says : This Mango Pi has everything from H.O.M.E.R. & Supercomputers to A Quantum computer & J.A.R.V.I.S. were blastastic useless.>> <<@mabbasi_of says : Hey man, have you seen what Mr Iot tech are doing? it is so amazing and you should really take a look>> <<@weirdsciencetv4999 says : Can it use raspberry pi cameras>> <<@tonygallagher6989 says : As more developers get involved, the optimisations for RISC-V and its associated graphics drivers will yield better results. I expect that future revisions of the hardware will also increase performance. These early RISC-V boards are important in starting the process whereby the platform improves over time.>> <<@bigGGyou says : I really hope more powerful RiscV SBC coming>> <<@DeGraafPurmerend says : Thanks for your great and clear reviews! I love them. If I may suggest a very interesting retro-like tiny computer/ Memory Operating System: The AGON light: New open source 8-bit System. A very compact open-source system using a modern Z80 variant, an ESP32 chip and 512kb of static RAM running MOS and BBC basic very fast. Even boasting a GPIO header for interfacing to external electronics. Would like you to review this one, I think you'll love it.>> <<@mr.sowhat3796 says : could you run raspian on this?>> <<@briccimn says : Very nice little thingy, but still way far from useability for everyday micro-desktop use. They are barely useable for ultra-low cost development use, and also in this case, spending not much more, you can afford much powerful SoC's, isn't it? Thank you Chris for making us know all about those very interesting devices! ❤>> <<@johnm2012 says : An open source GPU anyone?>> <<@vladsnape6408 says : Has anyone managed to get the GPIO to work?>> <<@-r-495 says : I‘d be interested in its camera interface. Most of them have one and I consider it underrepresented and underanalysed. Some have proprietary camera modules. Some others. Thank you>> <<@MostlyPennyCat says : The D1 (I think it's called) also has a fairly chunky DSP copro which you can run one of the lightweight tensorflow flavours on! And hardware codecs for video, so it's probably just a support problem for video playback (Linux Vs video hardware, the eternal battle continues)>> <<@nightcoder5k says : Back when I was in college, it took 24 hours to render a ray tracing image on a Sun3 machine.>> <<@mrdovie47 says : Was getting nowhere fast. Then found the login is "root" and the password is "1234" my main problem is my USB hub is not giving the full 5 Volts my mouse & keyboard need. This is actually a great little SBC with Armbian 22.08.0>> <<@jochen_schueller says : Hmm, seems like this has no hardware acceleration for video at all and does everything with the cpu, doesn't it?>> <<@britonkraemer7344 says : That dillo browser has serious Windows 95 vibes lol!>> <<@dvdragon says : Thanks for the review. Do you think it is fast enough for running magic mirror?>> <<@wagnerwolf says : I got interested in RISC-V since one of your first videos about it. I also have some projects that I wanted to run on a Raspberry Pi, but after watching this video, I went ahead and bought a mango pi from Aliexpress. I can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you for inspiring my curiosity about RISC-V.>> <<@yahmk3978 says : Thank you!>> <<@spiritdawound says : 9:47 bloated by systemd. so You can improve performance >> <<@ECHOSIDE56301 says : How did Windows 95 render low fidelity video? I remember late DOS games and early Win95 games playing 160x120 256 colors or maybe even 320x240 256 colors during fmvs/cutscenes. I also remember streaming Limp Bizkit music videos from their website. They had an option to stream @ "28.8 quality" (just 3.5 kilobytes per second). I had a 166 MHz cpu with mmx extensions in that rig. How was any of this possible? Those early dabblings into video compression and video rendering were astounding at the time.>> <<@albertpauw8234 says : Hi Chris, thanks to your video I bought a Mango Pi MQ-Pro, which arrived from China to the Netherlands in about a week, nice. However, I have problem booting it, so much so that I was under the impression my MangoPi was faulty. Only with the image on their own site, with xfce desktop, I was able to boot it, so it works, but the video is a bit flaky. The Ubuntu server image I tried did nothing at all. Which image did you use to boot Ubuntu server (with link please). I bought it so I can have a stab at RISC-V assembler language on the actual hardware, which is a bit different from my 80s old and rusty Z80 assembler skills, just for fun. Thanks in advance, Albert>>
