There may be better set-top boxes for the total cost of RPi + peripherals you |
| 39 |
would need to run it, but I have not looked into ARM embedded options for some |
| 40 |
time now. For routers and high throughput miniservers I prefer amd64 |
| 41 |
embedded, which cope much better esp. with AES-NI hardware encryption |
| 42 |
processing. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Anyway, according to the man behind RPi 16G is upper limit of what this BCM |
| 45 |
SoC can run theoretically, but: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
"There really, really isn't a 16GB package that we could use, or a way to use |
| 48 |
a pair of packages ..." |

I would think even if fatter RAM modules could fit on the board, power supply |
| 53 |
and cooling issues would introduce other design constraints and also push the |
| 54 |
price point above the market segment RPi are targetting. |
