And another ebay find $13.50 with shipping and it arrived with keyboard, mouse and DVI to VGA adapter!

Another ARM based HP Thin Client - 8 years ago
I just acquired another HP Thin Client that can be hacked to run Debian. The HP t410 Zero Thin Client is running a TI TMS320DM8148 @ 1GHz (similar processor to the Beaglebone Black) it has 1 GB RAM and 4 GB NAND with VGA and DisplayPort and 4 USB Ports. I'll be building a kernel to this weekend as there is already a DTS file available dm8148-t410.dts! There's also an AllInOne verby rayknight - Off-Topic

Re: Allwinner H3 - Beelink X2 - 8 years ago
If you've installed armbian then you are likely using U-boot 2016.09. Armbian has a boot.scr in the /boot directory that can modify how u-boot loads kernel and ramdisk. The boot.cmd file contains a user readable version of this script. Modifications are written to the boot.scr file by running the following command: # mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scrby rayknight - Allwinner A10
Re: good deal? - 8 years ago
That's normally the price for the pcDuino3 Nano which is a smaller form factor board from the same manufacturer that doesn't have the on board WiFi. The pcDuino3B usually can be found for around $60 while the pcDuino3 Nano usually is around $40. Both boards are supported by armbian. Rayby rayknight - Off-Topic

According to the H3 datasheet the on chip Boot ROM: Support secure and non-secure access boot Support system boot from the following devices: NAND Flash SD/TF card eMMC Nor Flash Support system code download through USB OTG Since USB is not listed for system boot, you would need to at least have u-boot installed on one of the above devices.

Re: Linux distro daily driver - 8 years ago
Like bodhi I have a Linux Mint VM on MacOS as my primary system (a 27" IMac with 3.4 GB i7 processor and 32GB RAM). All my other systems are running either Debian (sometimes Armbian) or OpenWrt, although I've started to migrate some of the OpenWrt systems to LEDE. I also have an Ubuntu VM because that is what works best with the Armbian build system. Rayby rayknight - Off-Topic

Mini PCI-E to PCI-E Express 1X Extension Cord Adapter Card with USB Riser Card on Amazon provides not only for "Full-size MiniCard adapter but also Half-size MiniCard by removing extra Full-size extensions." It also says "As PCI Express x1 connector is edge-free / multi-lane, x4, x8 and x16 PCIe Cards are also available. " I think I'll order one to try with my iconnect!by rayknight - Off-Topic
