This is the most autistic shit. What do they say about the pcengines boards?
>>54373846
free as in I have to much free time
>>54374456
NOT.
FREE.
ENOUGH.

Why do so many boards place requirements on the existence of proprietary code to function? If you want to sell hardware, why restrict the software that can run on it? It does nothing to gain you profit.

The latest raspberry pi should be moved out of the fatal flaws category and into the serious flaws category. For whatever that's worth. Also, the best boards usually incorporate an allwinner chip. Too bad they're still all A7/A8 and similar.

>not making a research to see if the product you're getting fits your needs
Are you retarded?
>>54376947
thank you for the tip pajeet. i will do the needful and make a research before purchase next item
Why does it matter if the drivers or the OS itself is, in autist terminology, "free"? If it just werks then that should be good enough

cubieboards function without non-free software. You won't get accelerated video n sheet, but they work.
They have no wifi, so you can buy a linux-friendly USB card.
