I’ve recently been experimenting with this board, which looks to be quite similar (Allwinner H5): https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&...

Overall it’s an impressive little package, however I’ve been finding that you need to underclock the CPU to make it stable. Or possibly use a giant heat sink, but that would somewhat counteract the benefits of such a tiny board. Do you know if Neutis have found a good solution for keeping the H5 stable?

However, in broader strokes, I’m pretty excited that we’re starting to see these boards with open hardware designs (the vocore and the beagle, for instance). Being able to use this to bootstrap more complex board designs feels a bit like how web apps became a lot easier once the so-called LAMP stack was robust enough to build on top of. There’s additional hurdles with hardware, for sure, but each barrier removed is meaningful progress.
