Hi Mick. Great video. Not being an engineer lot of your technical info goes over my head, I do enjoy your dry sense of humor. Keep at it, you provide a nice service. Cheers.
Wow, love this. I've just found your channel, and I'm impressed by the audio, video and general high production values. I'd get rid of that other loafer, though - he doesn't seem to be adding anything ;-) I've been amazed by the vast array of ARM-based SBCs around, it seems as if the world and his dog want to bring one out. I've been looking at a few boards with a view to building a small cluster, say 8 - 32 nodes. These little units make it easier to build a much more compact machine. As soon as I settle on a board, though, I discover something else! Thanks for the review videos, I will look at the rest, and they may help me decide ... on the Orange Pi, probably.
Thanks very much. If you're interested in building a cluster just with raw CPU grunt, then these would do well. Unsolder the GPIO headers and anything else that gets in the way and add some custom heatsinks and fans. Would do well. What are you going to run on them? Is it compute cluster, build cluster, MySQL, etc?
Hi Mick, it would be a general-purpose compute cluster. I've built one using Dell desktops, but that is quite large, something smaller and easier to transport would be better. Its partly for investigating the issues around configuring and running a cluster, network topologies, and partly to see how many Gflops you can achieve, using the maximum power that a wall socket will deliver (13 amps here in UK), so a bit like the student cluster challenge that ISC runs. I use Linpack (hpl) to test the compute performance. I was interested to see what tools you are using to test I/O performance, I'll have to re-watch the video.
mark woodrow Sounds interesting. One of my plans is to run a video on bang for your buck for compute power on SBCs. This NanoPi-M3 is pretty good but the Orange Pi Zero probably has better bang for the buck. I use the Phoronix Test Suite for my tests. I also try to run some subjective benchmarks like desktop performance. I'm putting up all my results into openbenchmarking.org. Just search for MickMake. ;-) openbenchmarking.org
haha hope that mick got powering one devices right !!! we don't need a orange disaster again XD excelent video .... i love your detailed explanations for the boards no one does that anymore !!
Thanks mate. In my "first look" reviews instead of just testing what the current XXXX O/S is capable of doing, (as it changes often), I'm now starting to put in more detail of what the board *should* be capable of and more look at the design aspect.
I think I might have used a heat sink from an old video card myself. It likely wouldn't have worked as well but it would perhaps have been a little more manageable whereas mounting is concerned. Great video Mick...thanks.
You could attach a tiny fan to the case to keep the air moving. This would be easier to do than putting it on the PCB. It just needs to miss all the headers.
Nice. I was waiting for this video. Regarding the heat issue, did the board run hot with your smaller copper heat sink? I wonder how much heat variance there would be if this board was underclocked or had some cores turned off.... (I have a specific project in mind)
+Mastadex Yes indeed it did. I'll be running a thermal comparison across several boards and publishing a video on it soon and yup, that'll be one of my tests.
Did you do temp testing with a more reasonable heatsink like the copper one you put on at first? It was cool to see it with the monster one but that's not exactly practical.
+Do R/C! I started out to, but those small heatsinks are really hopeless. I wouldn't really call them heatsinks just lumps of copper. There's a real art in designing a decent heatsink and it wasn't used to create those.
Hi Mick. Haven't seen this video before now, but I'm wondering...where did you get the pin-out information for the RPi? The diagram you added at the 7:14 mark isn't like any I've seen for the RPi before. For instance, I use i2c0 on pins 27/28, by hi-jacking the HAT pins. But your diagram seems to suggest that it's an ALT mode, mux'd with i2c1 on pins 3/5. Is that right?
For why people use it: Well maybe people just want a maker board that can do the usual stuff but also has 8 cores for parallel fun such as blake2 hashes. Like say, if you had a script to check your downloads are ok but you're not using sha-256 for whatever those downloads are (iso files or something). Underclocking it would cool it down. A slow 8 cores may be ok for that.
@@MickMake Right, I think I have the same cooler, without the fan, in a box of bits. I just wondered how you fixed it on. I have two ideas, cooling paste mixed with epoxy, or a sticky 'paste' pad and two cable ties for extra robustness. I guess it is more a gimic than really a sensible cooling solution (although it would work).
+Izzie Yup, I often wonder how they come up with their market strategy. Or if they even have one at all. There's so many ways this board could have been better, but they were clearly trying to put the most cores in the cheapest package.
MickMake Why does this seem so common, I'm looking for a little board for a medical project I want to do and all the powerful ones seem a little dodgy in terms of support, although I think I'm juts going to go with a raspberry pi in the end :P
Jules Verne That's the state of affairs with the market. If you can work around the issues on those boards, then they're pretty good, but I can imagine you'll need a fair amount of reliability in a medical setting.
Ah thats okay! Just making sure that someone of your obvious in-depth low level expertise didn't genuinely call it that in your private moments! Carry on good sir :)
I peed myself laughing when my young nephew said "hey - what's this?" when he picked up my WiFi detector on my bench. He read the logo on it then waved it over his arse, looking for the display to light up. I creased up laughing and have called it Wiffy ever since too.
True, if you want to just get something out the door, then support is the most important thing. I guess it depends on your context though: For me delivering an embedded product under contract I'd reach for a Pi first, (cost), followed by an Up, (runs anything), followed by an Orange Pi, (speed + options).
Is there anything out there like a PiZero but much faster? This seems close but I don't really need the ethernet and it would be nice if it actually worked with the PiCam (or similar). Thanks!
Well you can add something like this camera: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2MP-1080P-30fps-60fps-120fps-OV2710-2-8-12mm-Varifocal-Lens-USB-Camera-Module-/222144405491?hash=item33b8d69ff3:g:eCUAAOSwZetXOug6 should be comparable to picam and it's usb so supports a lot more platforms. The brand is ELP
That heatsink isn't overkill enough... :P Would be outright comical for a Cryorig R1 (universal or ultaimte) to wind up going on there, but I doubt it would balance on things as well as the one you already have ^_^ Or maybe today I'm being sillier than usual, hard to tell.
I wasn't able to get i2s working on this board at all with either android or Linux. Looks like we are both using the same adafruit i2s amp. Were you able to get it working? If so would you mind sharing? Thanks.
Mick, have you reviewed the odroid-xu4 yet? It looks rather interesting, it has an octacore processor too, and a fan built in. I might be getting one soon.
Nice little (but hot) device. I'm curious how you like the logic analyzer function of your LHT00SU1 introduced in your Mail#02 video. I have the Openbench logic sniffer and because it captures on the board, it is very fast, but is limited to 24K samples of 8 channels. It appears that the LHT00SU1 does passthru to capture on the PC so you'd get virtually unlimited samples. Does the analyzer keep up with SPI protocol? If you've played with triggering does it work well? Thanks much!
I've been using it for a while now and plan to release a video review on it. I really needed to give it a good run in situations where I was actually using it.
Hey! I have this board and I have a screen hooked up to the LVDS header. The LVDS needs to be turned on in the kernel, which means you need to compile the kernel yourself. Furthermore, You will need to hardcode the screen's timings and resolution into the kernel and u-boot, otherwise, it will pick a default resolution and won't display properly.
Yeah, it all depends. The lifespan of MCU/SoCs vary greatly. All depending on how much the company wants/thinks they can get out of it. Companies might also withdraw chips as they impact on sales of other chips. It's all about marketing and sales! So, not sure about the C.H.I.P. It's essentially a re-badged AllWinner A13 just for NTC and I'd guess that might have an impact on it's lifespan.
hmm wonder if NTC has a contract with a sales target/quota to keep it alive (hence the low margin pricing). no doubt both parties need assurances to keep the doors open.
+VitekST - Vlogy, programování, ... I think these days the lines are blurred. A microprocessor that has onboard Ethernet, SD, LVDS, USB, DACs, ADCs, MPEG decoders, PWM, I2S, I2C, SPI, RTC, etc, etc. It's not really a traditional microprocessor.
Okay, my bad, the better term is SoC (System on Chip). You see, the difference between SoC and MCU is that MCU has everything "vital" on board - that means program flash, RAM, some of them even have its own clock signal source, and are generally low powered. SoC on the other hand are chips with integrated CPU, GPU, peripherials and devices for system control (like interrupt controller), but they still need fixed memory of some sort and RAM to run. But they contain a CPU with generally used instruction set (ARM, or even x86). Just wanna be correct as much as I can.
+VitekST - Vlogy, programování, ... Yup, thanks mate. I probably should use the correct terms. I tend to interchange them often as the lines are often blurred, but yes... like you, I want to be correct as much as I can as well.
Actually I use an eBay special. Generic brand. It seems to have some decent audio considering it was only $70, but it picks up way too much high end and from the sides.
There is a 2 pin FAN plug behind the audio jack. It says FAN right on the board. Can this be control some way? I looked at the Schematic.pdf can't find the name fan any place in it. Maybe could see how it's wired up and control the speed then. The fan that goes with it is way to loud.
+NE555 Yup, I have one "real" Mac, my old trusty Mac mini, and a video renderer hackintosh which leaves my Mac in the dust. Comparison: My Mac mini will take around an hour and a half to render a 12 minute video, the hackintosh will do it in 12 minutes.
yeah i'm avoiding SBC that only have vendor support like this. gees, i only use vegemite on my cpus i heard printer toner kills as well mistake in your video. you said "gloves" and your clearly only using one ;p
Ah yes. I could only stand one glove at a time. ;-) Printer toner? That's a new one on me. I spent a year fixing photocopiers and never had an issues with toner. Had it all over me at one point, even breathed it in.
yeah tiny particles are labelled carcinogenic or something. heard sawdust is being labelled bad too, but then there's this: tapastic.com/episode/18523 as a sysadmin i've had my share of toner and thermal paste too. which i didnt know about the "apparent" paste thing till tonight... thanks seems to come down to - if its not meat and vege in moderation, then its bad for you.
lotsarats Yup, that's my philosophy. It might be bad or might not; what the heck, I'll just use gloves and when the dust finally settles on the argument and it isn't a problem then I haven't lost. If it is a problem, then I haven't lost.
I got bad at OCD and I've been in tears all night literally because I could have gotten this device I'm going to send you the link to it and I'm watch you to keep your eyes open I actually am NOT because I'm freed that it will sell out early really fast but this is the name of the khadas vim pro 22cash

Way better for the price and way better than a rasberry from what I can tell, I have nobody to speak to no friends that are into this nobody so whoever sees this tax and tax me back back to bullshit about this because I am desperately in need of some help with these boards and I do know a little bit about them and I want you to do check out this board look up the name and I'll find a link khadas vim pro 5cors and it s got s9 **** chip.

Yes, some of my earlier videos suffered from audio issues. These days I now record a good 60 seconds to provide a constant floor for those bits that are edited out.
Just keep the noise in the audio track, the background noise and when you cut your video stream make sure you leave a split second of noise and merge them with the new voice. Fade those track together and you create an illusion the there is an constant noise in the background.
Yeah, sound is 90% of a video. Some say 80%, but now that I've been at it 2 years I get annoyed by a lot of things. Pops, clicks, mouth noises, bad/alternating floors, wrong levels, music to loud/soft, echos, etc, etc. It goes on and on. One thing I do prefer is having more bass in my audio and tend to lift it more. Sometimes hard when I get the odd, stray mains hum appearing, but working on that one as well.
Hey buddy if I should get a company that sends you their bored would you give it to me after you reviewed it let me know honestly because the company I know of right now that actually has that vim has a offer that though sent you whatever you would like them to send or though give you a gift card for you to buy whatever you want their for review is long as you have a TH-cam channel and you supply your email to them in a get approved of course but I've already spoken to them and they said short just give me your email so we can approve you and your TH-cam I mean and I never gave them my youtube because I don't have a electronica Shannon I have a different kind of channel 4 growing growing will say
I need the best place to host affordable place to fast this place and the USA the purchase Lee's but I know you're in the UK what's really made me upset sir but other day was somebody pointed at the wife I checked and said that it was the processor and his video it really upset at me the sink that somebody thought the processor chip was the Wi-Fi check he actually thought so and its like yes it does look like a processor but no it is the freaking Wi-Fi chip the Chinese over chip laugh out loud

Terrific. With a proper heat sink I'll have no problems fitting it into a mid tower ATX case.

Printer toner? That's a new one on me. I spent a year fixing photocopiers and never had an issues with toner. Had it all over me at one point, even breathed it in.
yeah tiny particles are labelled carcinogenic or something. heard sawdust is being labelled bad too, but then there's this: tapastic.com/episode/18523
as a sysadmin i've had my share of toner and thermal paste too. which i didnt know about the "apparent" paste thing till tonight... thanks
seems to come down to - if its not meat and vege in moderation, then its bad for you.
lotsarats
Yup, that's my philosophy. It might be bad or might not; what the heck, I'll just use gloves and when the dust finally settles on the argument and it isn't a problem then I haven't lost. If it is a problem, then I haven't lost.
Sysadmin, eh? I had a lot of fun as a sysadmin, sorta miss those days a bit.
Are you running UNIX or windows, or both?
printer toner is like asbestos... my old hp spews it lol i set it printing and leave the room for hours
No magic smoke >:(
No, not this time.
You need to fire that assistant. He's a total flake :-P
Yeah, he's gone!
Argh, please go easier on that noise gate, leave some floor noise. That'd be much less nauseating to listen to.

Your voice and static noise should be constant because your audio track is really difficult to listen to!
Yes, some of my earlier videos suffered from audio issues. These days I now record a good 60 seconds to provide a constant floor for those bits that are edited out.
Just keep the noise in the audio track, the background noise and when you cut your video stream make sure you leave a split second of noise and merge them with the new voice. Fade those track together and you create an illusion the there is an constant noise in the background.
Most TH-camrs make that mistake and don't or ever realize it.
Yeah, sound is 90% of a video. Some say 80%, but now that I've been at it 2 years I get annoyed by a lot of things.
Pops, clicks, mouth noises, bad/alternating floors, wrong levels, music to loud/soft, echos, etc, etc. It goes on and on.
One thing I do prefer is having more bass in my audio and tend to lift it more. Sometimes hard when I get the odd, stray mains hum appearing, but working on that one as well.
Indeed and yes, your current vids have the right quality. Be proud of that but there are a lot of TH-camrs who still make those mistakes constantly.
hey mick could move back a couple of cm from the mic I don't like asmr :p
Yup, it's a bit of a battle for me at the moment getting the audio right. For me; there's just too many things wrong with it, but I'm working on it.
Hey buddy if I should get a company that sends you their bored would you give it to me after you reviewed it let me know honestly because the company I know of right now that actually has that vim has a offer that though sent you whatever you would like them to send or though give you a gift card for you to buy whatever you want their for review is long as you have a TH-cam channel and you supply your email to them in a get approved of course but I've already spoken to them and they said short just give me your email so we can approve you and your TH-cam I mean and I never gave them my youtube because I don't have a electronica Shannon I have a different kind of channel 4 growing growing will say
I need the best place to host affordable place to fast this place and the USA the purchase Lee's but I know you're in the UK what's really made me upset sir but other day was somebody pointed at the wife I checked and said that it was the processor and his video it really upset at me the sink that somebody thought the processor chip was the Wi-Fi check he actually thought so and its like yes it does look like a processor but no it is the freaking Wi-Fi chip the Chinese over chip laugh out loud
