    • A raspberry Pi alternative which can run Mainsail
Size: 2GB
I'm sure you're looking at this review because you're in the same boat as everyone else right now trying to either replace a broken Pi, or buy a new one... and the prices are 3x-5x due to the shortage. This board definitely hits the right price point and after two days of tweaking things, I got it to run Mailsail and I'm back in business. Here are some Pro's and Con's: Pro: Same footprint as RPi, including GPIO location and pinouts. Pro: Lower heat production than my Pi3. Pro: CHEAP. Available. Con: No wifi. Not a big deal for me. All my printers are running Ethernet. Con: I can't get UART_A working. I tried everything. I'm using this via USB for now. Con: Very limited number of available software appliance packages. To keep your expectations in check, assume you will download a working Linux, and then you need to do everything else (i.e., download and run KIAUH to get Mainsail and related components running) Keeping all that in mind, and having some experience with SBCs, this one wasn't too terrible. It would have been great if I could have fired up the UART... but thats fine... its better than a dead RPi and a non-functional printer... LOL. I just bought a second one to be part of a simple NOE which I'll use to experiment with to see if I can get the UART functional, while the other one is in my OE. ***UPDATE: January 2023*** I've bumped up my review from 4 stars to 5. This little guy has been a godsend. Its cheap, runs mainsail just fine... and there is an added bonus (why I raised my rating): It runs at or even slightly below 5 volts! Before, with my RPi's, I'd constantly get under-volt errors. The FAQs say that you need a "clean power supply" and I'm running the damn thing on an 750W ATX power supply! Turns out, the RPi needs more than 5V which causes all these undervolting issues. Long story short, Le Potato makes that issue go away... so it just earned itself one more star. Also, in case you're stuck in your transition, here is how to get Mainsail on it: -Download the Raspbian image from Libre Computer's repository. -Use your favorite tool (Balena, or the RPI imager) to write that image on to the micro SD card. -Connect the board with a USB keyboard, and to a monitor with HDMI, and power it/boot. -Once booted, log in via the GUI, launch a terminal window, then launch the configurator at the terminal window( sudo raspi-config ) -In the raspi-config, go to Interfacing Options, then select SSH, and then enable -Shut down the pi, disconnect the monitor and keyboard, boot again. -SSH to the Potato's address -Once logged into the libre, next you need to get KIAUH and the instructions for that can be found by searching for th33xitus and kiauh in google... but summary: you'll need to run one command to clone the KIAUH repository, then run KIUAH and the rest of the process should be pretty self explanatory. after this step is done, you can connect your libre over to the printer controller with a USB cable (I'm still trying to figure out the UART connection), and complete configuration of the controller/mainsail. Good luck! ... show more

    • Works as a Raspberry Pi alternative
Size: 2GB
I bought this as an alternative to Raspberry Pi, which has become very expensive. I bought the iUniker Raspberry Pi 3 case with fan and power supply with switch, the Libre Computer Board Heatsink, and TP-Link USB Wi-Fi Adapter for PC (TL-WN725N). I followed the instructions and flashed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS from the Libre Computer site to a Samsung PRO Endurance128GB micro USB. With a Logitech wireless mouse and Keyboard and an HDMI monitor, the system works as advertised. Speed is between that of Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, both of which I also own. While the system board is form compatible with the Raspberry Pi case, as advertised, I did choose to drill a hole in the side of the case for the IR sensor, which the Raspberry Pi 3 doesn’t have. I also drilled holes in the side of the case to be able to see the system LEDs. Finally, I had to cut out some of the internal plastic of the case to clear the very large heat sink. There may be cases for the Libre Computer that do not require modification, but I am pleased with the modified case as it matches my other Pi cases. The Wi-Fi adapter was simply plug and play, and connected to my network after entering the Wi-Fi password, and required no additional 3rd party drivers. The onboard Ethernet connection also works well. The only minor negative comment I have is that the system restarts after selecting power down. The solution is to turn off the power after the blue and green LEDs stop flashing, which is why it is good to be able to see the LEDs and to have a power supply with a switch; otherwise, the system will quickly restart. While I use Raspian on my Pi’s, I wanted this to be a Ubuntu system. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase as it does everything that I expect a Raspberry Pi to do. ... show more

    • Get a solid 5V/2.5A power supply, and a Class 10 SD card. Otherwise, no boot.
Size: 2GB
I'm going to start by saying, if you're looking for something with as much info and ready to to use as a Raspberry Pi, this probably isn't the board for you at this point (Jan 2018). There is very little in the way of documentation. I managed to get Armbian to boot after trying a few different SD cards. This board pretty much will not boot with anything less than a Class 10 microSD card. eMMC might be different, but I don't have one to test. Also, make sure you have a solid 5V/2.5A power supply. Those two things are pretty much required. I gave this a 4 due to the fact that it does exactly what it says it does: It's a nice bit of hardware CPU and video wise, while also exposing a good amount of functionality over GPIO. It's compatible with rPi cases, and with a little work most accessories for rPi should be able to be adapted to it. It lost a star because the docs are, well, not friendly. It's absolutely fantastic that the company put out the full schematic for what we are getting, so nothing is hidden. If you aren't looking to do some serious learning or figuring things out yourself, you might want to stick with an rPi. I'm pretty pleased with the device, and pleased about the open documentation. I am a bit disappointed in how unfriendly the format of that documentation is, but if you can read a schematic then the answer you are looking for shouldn't be that hard to find. There's a small jumper on the board (9J3) which selects between HDMI CEC (Anynet+ if you are familiar with Samsung devices) or pin 11 for I2C on the GPIO header. It's not really documented how that jumper works, except for the one awesome thing about this board: the complete schematic is available from the maker. It's a bit hard to read if you don't know how to read a schematic, but if you're diving into these maker boards you probably should learn it quickly. Still, I do wish they explained stuff like that. Their "Getting Started" documents are incomplete at the time of this writing. If you don't care about this, don't remove the jumper like I did and forget what position it was originally. Closest two pins to the edge of the board should be CEC, if I'm reading the schem correctly. The one tip I'm going to give for people buying this thing, is what the LEDs mean. I was confused at first. There's red, green, and blue LEDs. If the board has power, red and blue are on. If UBoot is successfully booting up, blue goes off and green comes on. If you don't have a card or anything in, you get no output at all. Just red and blue lights. Since I didn't know that, and the SD card I was trying to use wasn't fast enough, I didn't know if the board was booting, if it was just slow, or what. Only through trial and error of trying different cards that I had on hand got me to the green light and a booted system. Once I booted it, it seems like blue indicates disk access. I have no idea what the the UBoot button does, either from the schematic or from trial and error. It doesn't seem to do anything. Its on the schematic as ALT_BOOT but it only shows up as grounding a pin on the CPU, and I can't find any other occurrences of the tags on it anywhere else in the document. If anyone knows what it's for, that would be cool to know. I'm inferring that it selects between booting eMMC or SD depending on if others are present, based on it's schematic tag, but that's just a guess at this point. Also, there's very few people on the forums talking about or answering questions about this board. I'm hoping that changes in the coming year, because this kit feels very much like a next-gen rPi. It would be cool if it had more of a community around it. ... show more
