Recently bought an SBC with a QCS6490 (https://radxa.com/products/dragon/q6a/ https://radxa.com/products/dragon/q6a/). Curious to see if the vendor winds up using this as a base.
- mrbluecoat 3mo agoWe'll see. They purposely dropped all server/console support and now only offer a Debian desktop image, which seems crazy for an SBC. Not exactly a welcome mat: > Other variants that were previously provided AS-IS are no longer provided. Interested users need to build those by themselves. https://github.com/radxa-build/radxa-dragon-q6a https://github.com/radxa-build/radxa-dragon-q6a AI / NPU use cases have been severely hampered as well: https://gist.github.com/Foadsf/3cc2e0ed357c3ac7180589701bf83284 https://gist.github.com/Foadsf/3cc2e0ed357c3ac7180589701bf83... I've personally been wrestling with their broken I2C for a couple weeks. Really want to love this board but lots of sharp edges at the moment. Hopefully Qualcomm keeps dedicating resources to improving things - I know it's hard work!
