Review on πŸ–₯️ Libre Computer Board ROC-RK3328-CC (Renegade): High-performance Mini Computer with Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 (2GB) by Aaron Ayo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This is not a well supported board, look elsewhere for up to date Linux support

I bought this board as it appears to be a reasonably capable Raspberry Pi clone at a low price. It turns out that the board is not well supported by the current software. On the Libre website, the latest available version of Ubuntu is 18.04. Armbian claims to work on this board, but the last Armbian I was able to download was Armbian_5.98_Renegade_Debian_buster_default_4.4.192_minimal. All the newer builds I tried didn't load at all. I asked about this on the Armbian forums and was basically told it's out of luck, nobody is working on Armbian support for this thing. Without a clear long-term support path or path to the Linux 5.x kernel, this board doesn't have a bright future. I suggest looking elsewhere for Raspberry Pi compatible boards.

Pros
  • Glitter
