Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@teixeiracleber7527 says : Use XUBUNTU ,MORE LIGTH AND FAST , OR KNOPPIX 9 , IS GOOD TOO>> <<@timcooper2568 says : 6:28 if you plan on getting the expansion, print this out please! good luck getting it to work without a decent screenshot.>> <<@JGO-DB-Z says : Dear Sir, sorry for my question but could you help me with my board, please? Unfortunately I am not able to start it, because in the monitor it ask me this! " Failed to mount /dev/mtdblock4! ", why? I tried many sd card with different boot but the problem is the same! Thank you in advance! soon!>> <<@Archi2g says : the download bit is misleading, they've exceeded their account limits and while visible, they're NOT available for download. that's my experience anyway. "unable to load user" on your screen, interesting. looks are decieving.>> <<@___Igor___ says : I used a banana to make a retro radio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59RZJ9K0W2o . It works better than raspberries, but it gets hotter.>> <<@WolkenHapper says : Hi Chris, thank you for this nice review, got mine Opi Zero2W last week and i managed to get android tv 12 running, and it runs great! but i do want to learn more about GPIO led programming. i want to add some leds to indicate powerup, booting kernel and sd activity in this version. i am a beginner in SBC's so a tutorial how to use these GPIO pins and also how to attach a SPI display to it. on a raspberry pi it is not so difficult to do this, but Orange Pi is an other story. Greetings from the Netherlands!!!!>> <<@IonCubekhanz says : Dear sir, why don't you make videos for GPU compilation stuff ( bit advance though) ... if we xan have GPU / VPU stuff ... KODI running here is fantastic>> <<@dnkreative says : I have Orange Pi Zero 3 which has same H618 SoC. The only builds which support HW graphics accelleration are ARMbian builds. Unfortunately these builds are not officially supported by armbian and they lack sound support. Wondering when these issues will be solved.>> <<@stephenbarlin2314 says : Why? I don’t understand why you would want this. Why not just use a regular P.C. Perhaps if you live in a shoe box you might need this .>> <<@tiendq says : I just knew about this board this morning while googling for RP Pi Zero W 2 :D. It's much attractive than RP one with 1GB and USB-C ports. I just need a simple setup with Ubuntu so performance is not a big issue in case it's worse than RP Zero W 2 :). Very impressive, thank you.>> <<@michaelkaercher says : It is a cool little board. It is a hybrid between ESP32 and the big Raspi and Orange board. I bought one of these for a dedicated cash application and it works great.>> <<@lucusdownto says : Not sure why you'd even comparte it to the Zero 2, when you should, like myself know full well it's a Zero 3, but renamed Zero 2W because they are trying HARDER now more than ever to direct compete with Berry's. Which I do- did love Orange pi boards, but I guess the cheaper cost does come at - well 5 boards broke on me due to no fault of my own it's annoying as hell. But ya the Zero 2 has a H616 and max 1GB ram, whereas the Zero 3 has EXACTLY the same ram, cpu, everything as the Zero 2W - it's been named this to show up whenever a person is looking for berry's 2W and because if they named it the 3W they'd have a "better" Radxa Zero 3W showing up - and I quoted 3W because without 8GB ram and emmc the Zero 3W actually is worse, to my surprise the H618 is literally better than the 3W if SD cards are all that are compared, and there are also Sipeed and Banana with emmc with this CPU>> <<@bd4utonite2 says : hi... can you possibly do a tutorial on this board for headless install with ssh. Also can this in the end turn into a USB-C Gadget like the pi0 or pi4? Thanks>> <<@danielkrupski3443 says : Mr. Scissors, I presume?>> <<@Ai_Track says : does it the usb-c support DP port?.... Thanks>> <<@kjur18 says : Today I managed to run octoprint on orangepi zero 2w 2gb. Runs fine.>> <<@gwandrer says : Great explanations and amazing details during comparison with other boards. Thanks for the time you put in this video!>> <<@IraQNid says : Aren't Chrome based browsers regarded as bloatware? I've seen that comment made by fans and staff of Linus Tech Tips. How well do these limited functality SBCs do with Firefox?>> <<@Tomb-G19 says : Will the orange pi zero 2w run raspberry pi os?>> <<@djdonbentley2141 says : I'm gonna try Android on here instead of linux . Running Linux on this machine is a disappointment , my cheap Amazon tablet runs faster. Keep in mind also , this is with me spending more for the 4gb memory version.>> <<@mikapouramo9975 says : price wise and perfom wise this beats raspberry version 6-0>> <<@sumits.parale8735 says : Can we port bactocera on Orange pi zero 1gb?>> <<@shazanmahmud2973 says : Can i Connect it to laptop with usb cable without display conveter>> <<@splitlang says : thank you>> <<@_droid says : I wouldn't get too excited over it just yet. Most stuff doesn't work, as shown here. If you try upgrading the official Orange OS Arch Linux it will completely break the install and it won't boot any more. GPU acceleration doesn't seem to work at all. Sound doesn't work either (at least over HDMI). Maybe this stuff works in Android but I have no use for that. So it makes big claims in the specs but practically nothing works. It's been out for quite some time now and no updates from Orange Pi. Doesn't look good.>> <<@seguramlk says : Go Linux, Go Go 🐧>> <<@markhackney3305 says : Congratulations on 1 million subs Chris! Well deserved, great content and delivery>> <<@patricktierney3269 says : I started to use SBCs when I started building robots. All the robotics info on explaining computers was of tremendous help. I have an SBC from Orange Pi: it fried itself in the first 10 minutes of operation. And orange Pi would not replace it. Having used 3BPi boards, including the M2 Zero, I have found Banana Pi has equivalents to the Orange Pi boards and they are much more reliable. PS...do you think you'll ever build the hovercraft. That would be very exciting.>> <<@jaxxx66 says : Needs DietPi! Any OC options?>> <<@miwikotel6251 says : How does Librecad run on this board ?>> <<@Oliver-l1c says : GPIO in Android...I agree that is interesting and would be good to investigate further :)>> <<@exploitwebtech1655 says : Ugly teachers are always good at explaining things😆>> <<@bukalex1 says : shouldn't this have been Android TV OS?>> <<@개자식아 says : It has more gigglebits of ram than the rpi! Im gonna use this instead of the rpi zero 2 w.>> <<@yuraretz2379 says : Am i the only one thinking these SBCs should have SSD m.2 connector in addition to the sdcard connector? SDCARDs are way too slow as of 2024 for running an OS>> <<@jamesdecross1035 says : I'm curious. What are the pitfalls these of clone-boards? Will they always load an open-source operating system or other software?>> <<@frixux says : Just used what is suitable to you . Learn assembler used barebone hardware . Those micropcs are allway problematics with. Software programs>> <<@RighteousBruce says : The intro song makes me ill. lol>> <<@haon2205 says : My hdmi cable is 3 times the price of this board>> <<@dominicyang-y8b says : Hello, can you provide a video introducing the new Orange Pi AI Pro?>> <<@EricCorsi says : Would have loved to have seen sysbench run.>> <<@litebkt says : Thanks, Chris!>> <<@ScottPlude says : I'm ashamed to admit I am the most impressed by the end: the neat and clean soldering of the blinky LED.>> <<@another3997 says : Why do so many companies release unfinished products on to the market? They must know it hurts their reputations and subsequent sales. The hardware is no good without a fully usable OS, so having their own "Orange Pi OS" distribution fall flat on it's face on this hardware, simply beggars belief. Logically, that's the OS people will install. 🙄>> <<@Clancydaenlightened says : Orange pi usually seems to offer better hardware compared to rasp pi i think they even launched 64bit before rasp pi Thats what using off the shelf mediatek and allwinner soc with 4-8gb of ram You can run android on that 2w, just add ips and and touch, 4g lte and wifi And its an android phone Or use whatever os with a phone dialer Just slap an fpga or asic via gpio to get a camera, gps, and accelerometers and gyros, and nand flash>> <<@cjlowe1650 says : Hard to believe their own os doesn't work well! Lol. Did you test and Pi OS versions? Would love to see video of that. Thanks for this video. I have 2 1g and 2 4g versions of the Pi 0 2w. Just gave up when their own os wouldn't load.>> <<@timhoover1416 says : OK, I have been trying every version (2 GB version) of OS for this thing from the website. I have even tried the Raspi one at the bottom of the page. I can't seem to get to a login screen. I never "boots" up or is usable. It will start with the image in a ~2 GB partition. After starting the device it will modify the file system to use the whole disk, so I know it is doing something. But I just can't ever get to a point to use it. I can get to the SPI flash and have that up on the screen and even type on the USB keyboard through a USB-C hub. I get nothing from any of the OS's. Did you have trouble and how did you solve it Chris?>> <<@PaulGrayUK says : 1 million viewers mark is coming up fast. plans?>> <<@RajivDeo says : I am unable to run official Ubuntu image on my orange pi zero 2w 4gb. The sbc displays some error message with no image in sd card and blank screen with properly created image and 5v 2a power supply. Any help in making this board boot?>> <<@TúrósCsusza-o8j says : Christopher you are doing a great work in teaching the masses about computer science! I hope you get 10 million subscribers soon!>>
