I wanted to try #GoToSocial, so I installed it on my #Rock5B at home. I'm not sure, if I want to open this instance to others, but it's fun to run another piece of the #Fediverse
If somebody is interested, I gladly share my #Kubernetes manifests 
Should I try some other implementation? 
Since I don't find a solution to setup relays for GoToSocial, I'm not sure, how this instance will federate... This will be a great experiment!
Running NixOS on the Rock 5B? Yes, it’s possible! Our latest blog post dives into how we got NixOS working on this powerful ARM board, the challenges we faced, and why it’s an exciting option for developers.

Found the boxes misplaced inside another box of #TPUs, so here is a #deconstructed #Jolla #Mind2 represented by #Rock5B #RK3588 #NPU in #FireBreathing #HappyWeekend edition.
Also, did anyone hear of Lenovo #ThinkCentre #miniPC being DIY'd into a laptop form factor?
These things go quite cheaper second-hand than #Rock5 / #Rock5B, and seem beefier than #orangepi
Hell yeah!!! Finally got HDMI output working under #NetBSD on the #rock5b 
This was by far the hardest part of the hardware bringup (until now), as it requires correctly configuring the VOP2, HDMI-TX, and the HDMI PHY all at once, with no easy way to debug "in between".
Really satisfying though to see the display suddenly turn on for the first time.
Another update on the ongoing work around the #ROCK5B RK3588: USB 3.0 preliminary support in U-boot has now been added: https://col.la/r5usb3 #RK3588 #OpenSource
Prepared a bootable SD card image for #NetBSD on the #rk3588 based #rock5b:

Full "announcement" including details on what's supposed to work, can be found here:

Work continues on the Radxa #ROCK5B RK3588: Adding PCIe and RTL8125B networking in U-boot https://col.la/r5pci #RK3588 #OpenSource
Adding bootloader support for USB 2.0 Host for the Radxa #ROCK5B RK3588 board https://col.la/r5usb #RK3588 #OpenSource
Now the system does slow down when the CPU is under load, and as well optimised compiling Rust is, it does not help when it takes over while you actively work on your code.
Now I have two of these #Rock5B boards. I was initially thinking of setting one up as a gitlab runner. However, if you managed to get shared storage between two systems, You could probably get by with one board for development, and a second compiling. A very mini cluster.
Thx #OKdo for supporting #opensource projects with the "rock engineering challenge"!
BENCHMARKFEST 2023 UPDATE
Le Potato testing is complete as is retesting of the Inovato Quadra and Rock 5B. Still waiting to hear back about a possible trade to acquire a Raspberry Pi 4B. Retesting of Mini PCs will commence later tonight as well as putting Le Potato in my GeeekPi cluster case.
"IS RADXA'S RK3588 BASED ROCK 5B A RASPBERRY PI KILLER?"
This review's been a few month's in the making - with the holidays and some unforeseen delays - it's finally done.
If you've been interested in the Rock 5B or any RK3588 based SBC, you should give this review a read.

Won't this #rock5b with 16gb ram be an excellent #vmware #esxi host for multiple vm's to play with at home?
