Can this do OBS? I've been toying with the idea of setting up a separate system specifically for streaming so I didn't have to run it on the same system as I'm playing.
The OrangePi provided Ubuntu and Debian builds now work properly with GPU acceleration. And there are Batocera builds for it around. But they are still very early with issues. But with how fast things are coming out, if supply keeps up the OPi5 has a good chance to take some of the RaspPi's market in emulation scenarios.
@@erikkarsies4851 Unless you're a grandpa who only buys his stuff from physical shops, the Orange Pi 5 is available in everybody's countries from well-known Chinese websites.
Orange Pi 5 are good value just be aware that SSDs on PICe 2.0 aren't as fast as PCIe 3.0 (i'm saying this because maybe you want to use it as desktop) there are some tests online and the NVMe performs like an Sata 3 SSD, and the Rock Pi 5 with the PCIe 3.0 performs like 4-5x faster.
This could actually make a pretty nice NAS system. Boot drive on eMMC, cache/fast storage on NVME, and SATA via a card in the M.2 E-key slot. With 2.5gb ethernet it should be possible to get some good performance out of it!
thinking about that, the RK3588 should have 3 native satas, but not sure if they are actually avalible on the Rock PI, one sata may be avalible on the M.2 slot.
it has potential to fill up a landfil the board is garbage , the HDMI and type C ports feel like shit and I am scared they are going to break off, but even if they did it wouldn't make any difference because I can't get the board to work at all anyways
Thanks ETA, your video led me to find image for ReBornOS and since loading it on my Rock5b...I am blown away. It is leaps & bounds ahead of the Radxa & Armbian builds. Out of the box after install...I am running TH-cam 4k video, @ 25fps with 0 (ZERO) dropped frames. I am now excited about my Riock5b again and will be using it more.
Mine arrived the other day -- I picked it up because it's impossible to get Raspberries right now, and this was easy to get going with Ubuntu Server and add to my little home Kubernetes cluster. Definitely a powerful little board, that node will get the node affinity for heavier workloads. Liking the 2.5Gb ethernet + PoE support as well.
Thanks for doing another video on this. Great to see gpu acceleration working on Linux! Btw, they seem to have dropped the "pi" now and it's just called Rock 5. I got mine the other day and was nervous that they wouldn't bother to get Linux drivers working.
AMD is amazing tech, but one has to wonder whether just going for the steam deck is what you really want for gaming. With the current draw and temperature gradient, intel should pretty much be made illegal.
Thank you so much for the materials that you provide on your beloved channel. Would you please make a comparison between Orange Pi 5 and Rock Pi 5 B? Specs - Price - operating systems - performance - compatibility - etc….
The most important observation I've made about the Rock 5B versus its newer competitors - it has the RK3588 SoC, Not the RK3588S !! The latter has crippled I/O including PCIe v2 :(. The Rock5B supports PCIe v3 x4, the minimum defacto standard to allow M.2 Nvme 2280 drives that are readily available and fast enough for my testing needs. Also discovered that M.2->SATA adapters that include PCIe-SATA controllers are now a thing - promising for building NAS with RAID.
I'd love to find out if it can properly support OBS, as its specs look extremely promising. A lot of people use a second PC for OBS, and my hope is to find a SBC that can handle 1080p60 encoding and delivery.
The Rock 5 seems to be very interesting. I would like to see, how good kdenlive video editing is working on the Rock 5. How ever, this is a very good video, I like your way of explaining. 👍
Great video on Reborn OS supporting the Rock Pi 5b. Think you are the 1st to show it working with the Rock Pi 5 😊. Is there a link to a Reborn OS image to flash for the Rock Pi 5? Looking at the Reborn OS website, it just supports Raspberry Pi.
@@Nobe_Oddy sadly balena etcher or rasberry pi imager using that image doesn't boot from microsd on Rock Pi 5b. Anyone else got it Reborn OS working with Rock Pi 5?

As long as Windows for ARM remains a gimped undertaking (thanks Qualcomm), even the most capable SBCs are unlikely to find the wide acceptance as desktop replacements that may already deserve.
@@MrEandc4life yeah, but it's x86 based Linux... Not Arm based Linux. Different kettle of fish. Arm based Linux is a complete waste of time for general gaming.
How about x86 game emulation (like DOS games, windows 95/98/XP games)? Like Rollercoaster tycoon, the lost eden, MDK, or PSP games like ridge racer. N64 games like Mario kart 64, Zelda, snes games like James Bond, Starfox starwing, Donkey Kong, and Google play games like Asphalt (perhaps one of the older versions, as the newest version of asphalt needs better hardware. Also, get a killawatt meter, to measure power consumption in sleep, idle, full load cpu, full load gpu, and cpu+gpu full load. See if you can run gpu benchmarks like glxgears, gl mark 2, and uniting benchmarks like heaven or older.
I wouldn't select such system(s) for a desktop, especially for the main use. However for a server system running 24/7 is certainly a good option. Unfortunately most reviews go with desktop usage and gaming, which are useless for me. Anyway, thank you for your effort.
dang! I just created my first ever mATX mobo + case last night to welcome the future of miniaturization and this guy just got a fully functional gaming computer in his palm. Technology is crazy yo'! I can barely keep up with it anymore...
I just ordered one of theses SBCs and some accessories to go with it. I'm excited to play around with it once it arrives in 5 days time. Since you made this video the ARM64 build of RebornOS rebranded to BredOS. Could you test BredOS with the GPU drivers that worked on that older RebornOS build in this video on BredOS? I got the Rock 5B specifically to play with BredOS (since the devs of BredOS refuse to port it to the RPi5) and other stuff too. Thanks! Great video as always!
RK3588 makes me excited though I can't find a use for it. Plus the recent ARM debacle, I am looking at RISC-V instead. That being said, it would be great if we could convert old phones into SBCs somehow.
With Google announcing full Android support for Risc-V the feature for it now looks better than ever. And all for the better since that is a free license hardware architecture open to all unlike ARM.
@@SIPEROTH Yea, with Google, the software ecosystem for RISC-V might be easier compared to when ARM started. I wonder if they would try out a RISC-V phone in the Pixel Lineup

Question, this thing actually supports OpenGL? im not talking about OpenGL ES, i mean the regular OpenGL? The RPI4 gpu supports up to OGL 2.1, and im looking for a ARM SBC with OpenGL 3.2 or more. It is not listed on the gpu specs but that mostly depends on drivers.
This was a very helpful video on ROCK5b, could you elaborate more on installing Reborn OS on the NVME and getting it to boot from the NVME, I am not as expert as you and need more detailed instructions... PLEASE?
Sounds great on a paper, but it is not very cost effective. Without SSD, 16GB ram version runs about $250 at which you can also by a cheap Intel i5 laptop unless this form factor is something you need.
The stark reality is the Rock Pi 5 runs about the same as the minis forum um350 now price wise. Great board but just a hard sell with the current pricing.
If you don't play game, there is even no need to install heat sink at all. Leave it open in an air-con room is good enough cooling for everyday driver.
Hey Eta Prime! Long time view of your channel and I have always really enjoyed your work while finding it extremely helpful. I finally went out and got an SBC (rock 5b) and following this view my version doesn't auto install to the nvme. I've tried using gpart before hand after the first attempts didn't work and still no luck. I did some research an haven't found anything. The rock 5b sees the nvme and can write to it read ect the online install just wont go to it or as me. any advice would be amazing thank you for what you do!
Not sure why since most games are x86 based and Windows based. There is reason why Valve went with the AMD x86 chip and even with their Proton emulator, it does take a performance hit on non-native Linux games. Actually believe it or not it is Apple that is reinvigorating the ARM Linux desktop software with its M1 & M2 ARM chips. Case in point is Blender and Gimp.
I tested this by myself. RebornOS seems a very cool OS. But : there was no media decoding acceleration at all on that test, it was pure cpu power (and boy, this sbc has that) . I texted rebornOS guys bc vpu should support should be added as a priority. ETA, whenever you wanna test vpu (if it's working or not) check about:media-internals
Very nice Rock Pi 5 video. Do you have information on setting up the OPi.GPIO PWM for an Orange Pi-5 Debian-Bullseye OS to run a Servo OpenCV Pan/Tilt Camera? 😎 Thanks.
Super tux cart runs perfectly on my x200 laptop, which has a core2dou p8700 cpu and an integrated HD4400 gpu... It's 13 years old and consumes 25 watts.
Rock Pi 5 is 30-50% more expensive than Orange Pi 5 with the same CPU/GPU. Maybe quality difference? Personally holding out for Orange Pi 5 software to improve then will get one.
It's not "Rock pi 5", it's "Rock 5B". It seems important to the vendor not to carry this ridiculous "Pi" anymore in their products, probably in part because for quite some time it has been synonym for outdated SoCs or misplaced connectors.
It's great, unfortunately the Linux mainlining effort for this chip is immature, so this proprietary kernel will become insecure and out of date quite quickly, in addition to already missing features such as btrfs. That sort of effort takes a while (years) to reach maturity with dedicated devs, but lately a lot of the ARM mainline concerned people, and there are only really a handful, are disproportionately interested in M1/M2. So, I won't be buying this until developments demonstrate otherwise.

So you ran the installer from an existing installation? Does the installer write a custom bootable image so the overall physical steps are the same as flashing a downloaded image then booting sbc from it? Convoluted question I know sorry - I'm wondering how easy it is to boot an installer usb (and do the configuration directly) on the RP5 itself. I have a Wi-Fi card that needs the fw files supplied during installation or it won't work. Excited to get my hands on the RP5 though - hopefully delivered from China in the next few days Thanks!

Can I connect it to a USB-C docking station and get power, monitor signal and USB peripherals through a single USB C-cable? Would be so portable and easy to plug in.
I confused myself and google very much when I searched for "RK35588" instead of "RK3588" at 1:42. Minor typo on ETAs part, but they are few and far between.
this board has an inherent flaw where in it doesnt boot with most of the power bricks, and for usb adapters it works with, its a hit or miss so be careful
I am new to this world and am curious how I can obtain and install the GPU driver you mention in your interesting video. Would appreciate some direction.

Hey ETA Prime! Could you please check out StarFive’s VisionFive 2 SBC and probably compare it to the RPi 4? That would be awesome! Arm Vs RISC-V!
Hi! Thank you for nice content! I'd like to see it in 25FPS not in 60FPS since my laptop sounds like a swarm of bees even at 1080P (. I do not see fast moving objects in you video to use 60FPS :) Thanks
How well does it handle gamecube/wii?
Can I connect it to a USB-C docking station and get power, monitor signal and USB peripherals through a single USB C-cable? Would be so portable and easy to plug in.
Could you test Possibly test Full Disk Encryption performance. thanks
When is Windows going to make Windows Lite for Arm based CPU and GPU ?
People already installed Windows on ARM on a Pi 4.
I confused myself and google very much when I searched for "RK35588" instead of "RK3588" at 1:42. Minor typo on ETAs part, but they are few and far between.
Hi there, it was perfect. thnx
Does it have to be Reborn OS?
Have you tried whether other OS will have similar performance?
this board has an inherent flaw where in it doesnt boot with most of the power bricks, and for usb adapters it works with, its a hit or miss so be careful
I am new to this world and am curious how I can obtain and install the GPU driver you mention in your interesting video. Would appreciate some direction.
