>> So first, for those interested in cheap arm64 hardware, the first 96 board is going to start shipping in March for ~$129. The HiKey board is an 8 way 64 bit ARM board with 8 A53 cores. (No A57s bummer!) Only had a gig of memory on the board but it’s not a bad device. I’ve had one for about 2-3 weeks now. I’m basically running off a USB hard disk for the moment and thankfully the kernel continues to improve. |
