About this deal

For anyone who just wants to run a PiHole for example this would be a much smarter board choice than the Raspberry Pi at almost 1/3rd the price. It’s also actually available for that price. NOTE: GPIO Header Pin 11 or HDMI CEC is selectable by onboard jumper. They can not be used at the same time since they share the same pad. Oh wow, that is very cool, thanks for letting me know about that project! Libre Computers also shared another link with me on reddit for a bootloader utility. This should allow for USB booting without having to use a SD card as well (an improvement over my old-school method covered in the “Le Potato” SSD booting guide).

So, this is hardly a drop-in replacement for a Raspberry Pi 3/4B computer. But it is not all doom and gloom, as the Le Potato has a spot in the sun (garden?) for certain applications. More on this below. Le Potato, a solid SBC offering from Libre Computer Use Cases Installing software on the Le Potato is noticeably slower than on a Pi 4, but not any slower than on older Raspberry Pi computers. We move forward… Power Usage Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I’ve just had a chance to test this and I can confirm that yes, the arm64 Powershell 7.3.3 binary does indeed work on the Le Potato! lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 8 19:28 pwmchip0 -> ../../devices/platform/soc/c1100000.bus/c11086c0.pwm/pwm/pwmchip0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 8 13:52 pwmchip2 -> ../../devices/platform/soc/c1100000.bus/c1108550.pwm/pwm/pwmchip2

Now it is in a boot loop, sorry for bad quality it went so fast I had to take a screen grab from a video. Image is here: https://imgur.com/a/jplwOdm This tool lets easily move from any Raspberry Pi above a Raspberry Pi 2 directly to a Libre Board. You don’t have to reinstall any of your software. You don’t have to reconfigure your images or transfer your data. You simply run a simple script to enable the necessary files for the Libre to boot (while leaving the original image able to still boot on a Raspberry Pi). CAREFULLY! The throttle of your Harley Davidson must be cable pull. The system does not work with throttle grips equipped with electronic sensors!Note: If you’re not using the roc-rk3399-pc (Renegade Elite) then you’ll want to run the following so the script will output the support options. You can then run the command with the appropriate board name to convert your OS installation.

Libre Computer Board AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) 64-bit 4K Media

Sounds okay then, still it’s always nice when things run faster. Will try initially with the SD card and see how it goes. Can always add eMMC later, yeah? I’ve recently covered boards such as the Banana Pi M2 Zero that have no such utility and have Raspbian Stretch available as the latest image (STRETCH!). This was extremely disappointing to me even though the board was otherwise quite powerful. It’s very nice that Libre not only have more up to date images but have a whole utility that can take any preconfigured Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS image and make it work for you with the Libre Boards basically. That’s a very big deal and it sets them apart from some of the other competitors to the Raspberry Pi.The adjustment knobs is machined in Maltese Cross for better grip or Notched, more conventional and discret. config.txt does not affect anything so dtoverlay entries do not work! There is work in progress to have our wiring tool do basic emulation.

AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) - Identity Digital

At its core, the Libre Computer Raspbian Portability script has been designed to take a Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS operating system and modify it so that it can be used on a Libre Computer SBC. The Le Potato consumes nearly half of the power of the Raspberry Pi 4 in the same setup both whilst idle and under full load! Though saying that, there’s a little more to it as you have no WiFi/Bluetooth chip on the AML-S905X-CC board amongst other features but if you don’t need WiFi and you just want something with decent performance that will sip minuscule amounts of power from the wall then this Libre Computer board could be worth considering. Where can I buy Le Potato? I have an SD running the MusicBox Pi project and it works beautifully on my Pi 3B, but I need to repurpose this Pi adn would like to switch the MusicBox SD card to a Potato. The MusicBox is built atop Wheezy and I have been trying for a week now (evenings and weekends) to get git on this OS. It simply will not install. Over a week’s time, you can imagine that the error messages were varied and numerous. It simply is NOT in teh libraries and nothing I slapped into sources.list seemed to resolve the issue.Hello, I am new to this space and have no idea what do I do. So I tried enabling pin 32 and 33. ls -al /sys/class/pwm # see the pwmchip{n} to hardware mapping For getting the information for a pin number on a specific header of the board: lgpio info HEADER PIN# For anyone who has tried to move from a Raspberry Pi to an alternative device before this utility really stands out as a compelling reason to choose a Libre board over some of the competitors. I definitely recommend giving it a try! Other Resources Perfect, that’s exactly where it should be! Performance looks good and I suspect it is substantially higher using the eMMC module. I would like to get one of those and do some future testing with it. Pros / Cons Pros This is a heatsink for the Le Potato that will cover both the CPU and the RAM chips. Looks very nice as well!
