HIGH PERFORMANCE LOW POWER: AML-S905X-CC performs faster than a Pi 3 B+ while using half the power. It is designed with power optimizations to increase sustained performance under load and reduce failures due to input voltage and current. It is one of the first SBCs to support 4K multi-codec hardware decoding and features a highly performant OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU for accelerated 2D/3D.
FASTER CPU AND DOUBLE THE MEMORY: Quad 64-bit 1.4GH z ARM Cortex-A53 Processors, 4K Ultra HD ARM Mali-450 750MHz GPU, 2GB of High Bandwidth DDR3, 4K 60FPS High Dynamic Range Display Engine for H. 265 HEVC, H. 264 AVC, VP9 Hardware Decoding and more. The top performing SBC in its price class.
RASPBIAN COMPATIBILITY: Software made for Raspberry Pi is not compatible out of the box. Libre Computer provides the libretech-raspbian-portability tool on GitHub to convert existing Raspbian images to standard EFI images so that they can run on Libre Computer boards. Pre-converted Raspbian images are also available. Non-standard software libraries for interfacing with hardware will not work and will need to be updated.
NO ONBOARD WIFI: External USB WiFi/Bluetooth dongles (not included but available in kits) perform faster and with less interference than onboard WiFi/Bluetooth. Libre Computer boards do not feature onboard RF emitters for improved regulatory compliance. Bundles are available with external USB WiFi.
SUPPORT OPEN-SOURCE: Libre Computer is a major sponsor of software contributions to upstream Linux and U-Boot including support for adopted Allwinner, Amlogic, and Rockchip SoCs. For technical support, please use hub. libre. computer.
