Throwaway account. Proceed with caution. This board was the only one which fitted our requirements for a commercial product. We actually found it more stable than for instance the people on the Armbian forums. But in the end we've moved on.

Lesson learned (probably sounds obvious, but hey): SBCs are nothing without software. The quality and commitment of the developer to kernel support is everything. All boards have issues, and they can be worked around in software.

The espressobin got a lot of community support, but even with that it still isn't quite enough.

We need more boards like this that aren't just a copy of the raspberry pi. For personal use I would buy one of these tomorrow.

With hard core documentation and support this thing could have been the start of something great. Lets hope that can still happen.

Not to take anything away from the hard working folk who are currently supporting this. And from Marvell. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. I just hope there is a way to get you more resources

Totally agree. The espressobin community has been very active for a while, but documentation is lacking even for basic functionalities like GPIO pinout usage.

How about this one?

Looks promising but lacks official support from ARMBIAN, which was crucial for choosing the espressobin.
