Ok, i have an idea, tell me if it would be stupid.

I want to try to make a special imageboard(4chan)-esque communication distro that can only be communicated through Orange and Raspberry Pi's. When you install the distro, you get a special ID. You still post anonymously, and it would be only the imageboard, aswell as the ability to gather pictures, pdf's, audio files(ogg, mp3), and webms.

Essentially 4chan, but communicating through Raspi's only.
>>
>>55432003
That assumes assembly is a unified language like C or something. It's not. The correct way to ask that question would be "..... around with its assembly?"

The bottom line is its a very basic computer for today's standards, however when compared to old hardware, it's impressive. When compared to an old pentium 3 pc I have sitting in the corner it's more powerful, silent, less power consumption, triple the storage capacity and just the price of 2 #1's at Wendy's. Quite impressive for around $20

>That's the problem.

No, your lack of imagination/skill is the problem. Since you have no particular use in mind for this sort of device, it very much is useless to you. For electronics hobbyists and DIYers the list of possible uses is seemingly endless.

I'm currently building a 3D printer (something else that you might consider useless, or a meme), which I plan to control with an Arduino, and interface with a RPi2.

Another project I'm interested in tackling is to create a lo-fi, reprogrammable effects pedal for my bass. As a bassist I don't need all that many effects normally--distortion/fuzz/overdrive, envelope filter, and maybe a wah-wah or chorus pedal--but that doesn't mean that they are not extremely fun to play around with. Even cheap pedals get expensive though, when you start buying dozens of them, and they take up space. See where this is going? A DIY one that can be reprogrammed to handle pretty much anything I might like to mess with will be much cheaper, and create far less clutter. It will also be more fun/challenging than just ordering them. When the novelty of one effect wears off, I can program it to do something else.

Avoid pic, it's insane.

Atmel is great if you want 8bit and simplicity. Big plus is you can get cheap through hole parts. A cheap atmel based arduino is great, because they're so readily available, and the code you write for it can be trivially ported to an attiny.

You don't see many MIPS boards, but a few. MIPS is widely regarded as the easiest/cleanest asm.

There are plenty of ARM boards out there, from tiny boards with 256K of RAM, to quad core SBCs with 4 cores and 2GB of ram.

You ain't so bright, hu?

Binary is binary, and doesn't care about what's sending it. A pi and a brand new i7 sending the same sound down the wire will sound the same.

Your HTPC should be outputting over HDMI. Assuming you're not doing anything stupid, it should be sending the pre-encoded binary steam that's already part of the media, and pass it straight along the HDMI to the TV/receiver. All of the processing is done on the TV/receiver. It can do transcoding of the audio before passing it on, but it should only be doing that if the other end doesn't support the format. Even if it does that, the DAC on the pi wont be used. It sends a digital signal over HDMI to the receiving end.

It's exactly the same: Chromecast 39EUR/ Rpi3 38 EUR with the Rpi having both more powerful hardware and software (full OS).

True, but more versatility comes at a cost.
> It's as versatile as whatever devices you have to cast with
This argument counters itself, that's how stupid it is. RPi's versatility is that it can be much much more than just a media center. Even as a media center it is more flexible in OS choice, functionality and devices you stream from (you can't stream from NAS to Chromecast for instance). The Chromecast is good value, but the RPi is even better if you're willing to spend 10 minutes of set-up.

Problematic issue with SBC Part 1 - Orange Pi
http://www.s-config.com/orange-pi-needs-to-go-back-into-the-oven/

>Sata Chip
It's actually garbage USB-SATA chip.
The Orange Pi Plus 2 suffers from the same anemic chip-set bandwidth problems that the Banana Pi M3 does with transfer rates only being around 14MB/sec

>Orange Pi gets stupid hot!
To the point where it starts shutting down cores in order to keep it from locking up
But on both my Raspberry and Banana Pi I was running a lot of stuff on them and the worst that happens is they get warm . So that’s why I can’t excuse the OrangePi for its burning chips.

>USB just to power your most basic devices on the Orange Pi is practically non-existent.
But as I discovered even plugging in a keyboard rated at 80mA is enough to shut down to the USB port. Unbelievable! I have to actually use a powered USB hub in order to use the thing!

>Lets talk about Orange Pi’s software for a moment:
When it comes down to Orange Pi as a company their lack of communication and the company made images of the Orange Pi are just about laughable. Their version of Raspbian is just a made of BananaPi with their mods attached to it in a very poor manner. And with Sound not working and crippled video. It leaves the options rather limited for what you can do with the Orange Pi in terms of game development.

>tfw dodged a bullet
>>
Problematic issue with SBC Part 2 - Banana Pi M3
http://www.s-config.com/banana-pi-m3-walk-away/

>Processor burning problems.
Just like the Orange-Pi. The A83 OctaCore processor heats up rather quickly and begins to almost immediately throttle itself downward to 1.2Ghz and even turning off 4 cores right away! At this point of the game I minus well just buy a Raspberry Pi 3 because then I at least will have good support to go with my slow processor! Even with adding a heat sink and fan can I barely get it running at full speed underneath the android images out there.

>SATA problems.
They used a GL830 USB-to-SATA bridge instead of simply finding another ARM based CPU with SATA support built in.
The end results are pathetic to say the least. I am getting results similar to the Ambian Forums where I am only getting about 12Mb/sec instead of 130+ like on my original Banana Pi

>The Banana Pi Forums.
While checking out each and every one of these problems mentioned in this blog on their forums. There was many threads talking about all of the problems above. With every thread I encountered some very brutal replies from the Banana Pi Team. Telling people to shut up and support them or go away. Well Banana Pi Team this site used to support you. But after this disaster you’re fired.

h.265 isn't supported on current boards; h.264 only works because the board has dedicated circuitry for it. I've never had issues with this; pretty much everything is available in 264 and in the odd case that only 265 was available, you could just transcode at your end with another computer. Even the rpi will do it within an hour or so depending on the filesize.

>Fucking raspberry once again ate my kingston microsd. Within last few years I've gotten like 10 corrupted cards

That's fucked up.
I thought raspberry microsd card corruption was just a meme, but it looked like thousand of people had the same problem too.

Have you tried using read-only /boot ?
The USB Flash Drives are more resilient than the tiny SD cards. Still it more than likely bad power supply or overclocking.

Other people recommend you to turn off swap

are people actually that retarded?

I made my Arduino read my memory use and CPU use to me every second, as if task monitor was on.

It's kind of nice to see how my computer deals with various programs.

These $15 computers good enough for a HTCP?

1080p h264 videos, and a few 1080p or 720p h265
>>
>>55446802
Meh, I turned on 1 GB swap on my extrooted openwrt router with 64 GB sd card because my router only has very little memory (32 MB).

I've never experienced corrupted sd card, probably because openwrt has done a good job of making /tmp/ as ramdisk, and let all write operation by default to that area.

>>55446802
the default raspbian is configured to use a swapfile

>>55445848
Using it as wireless access point
Don't have any other use for it currently

>>55446939
I don't recommend it

If purely for HTPC, it's better if you get a Rpi2
Costs double the amount, but less headaches. And you have prebuilt images with everything you need to get started

is there a way to run mpv without a gui or a window manager? I think i'm just going to use arch and tmux and hook it up to my tv

if i install netbsd on a rpi can i still access the GPIO pins using C?
>>
>>55447469
God fucking dammit.

So we can't even boot directly from USB because of this shit.
Yes I know you can change boot.txt to boot to /dev/sda1, but you still boot from sd card first.

Another question, why don't they give 2 GB RAM option ?
>>
>>55447617
why do you want to install netbsd if you can't even read their port page?
>>
>>55447660
well i read the manpages and saw that it did have a GPIO driver, what i wonder is how easy it is to interact with, i've never done anything like this
>>
>>55447113
Really? I have heatsinks at home so heat isn't an issue.

Is it performance? That $15 price tag makes it very tempting compared to the competition, considering it's a quad core too
>>
>>55447703
The heat is indeed also an issue, but not the primary issue

The GPU is not very well supported. It's drivers are closed source, making it nearly impossible to make anything compatible with it.
Kodi for example can't run on it fluently because of this.

>>55432003
Both the 8051 and MSP430 are widely used in education. I loved writing 8051 assembly and I learned a ton. I mention the MSP430 because TI launchpads are cheap, and can be programmed to do all kinds of cool things in assembly or C. The C programming is so low-level that a lot of the code looks like assembly.
>>
>>55447937
Some devs are looking at getting it to work on there, I think.

As for right now, no, it's not possible.

Unless you're constantly running jobs that are significantly larger than available RAM, it won't kill an SD card for a long time. How long it takes to kill it is probably also affected by the quality of the SD card, but I've never been bored enough to try a comparative-to-the-death SD card swap experiment....

Maybe I'll set one up in a few weeks.
>>
>>55447652
Both answers are maddeningly the same: because it's a SoC. System On a Chip.

The memory controller is only designed to handle the on chip RAM, and has no provisions for using external RAM. Literally, when they want another size, they have to refab.

The boot process on these is much simpler, and hard-coded for reading data from a specific interface & I think address. Since this was designed for embedded use, they saw no point to wiring and testing the code to load from different devices.

>>55450680
you literally just write a tiny python program that polls a sensor hooked up to the GPIO pins and runs "play seinfield.wav" (install sox)
it's not hard in the slightest

making the device look presentable to show to your family instead of it resembling an IED is another story

>No need for additional heatsink, I don't need more noise.
>No overheating problem
>Bonus point if it can runs Windows
