Actually some of our forum members too wanted something like that, check some of the Latest posts in “VIM3 crypto” mining, u/wll1rah was asking something like that
LOL, let’s first get proper support on the A311d then ask for New SoC, perhaps in the Case of Rockchip,
I am eagerly waiting for that New RK3588, Man does that have a killer configuration, if that came out with proper support in half a year, I guess even the A311D is poof.
In any case, S912 would not be my first choice, as it appears AML has abandoned that SoC. No SDK updates for quite some time. That being said, I like the S912. @BowerR64 Update: It seems I spoke too soon regarding updates. Much to my pleasant surprise, VIM2 gets update to Android 9 preview ROM. Good to see.
When i got mine the auction said preinstalled with CoreELEC but also said Android 9
Lucky it wasnt my first box i may not of kept it because i had no clue how to flash these things a few months ago.
I must say these things are confusing, there is so many different ways to do the same thing it isnt even funny. Now Khadas has its own way of doing it also
Each chip maker seems to have its own tool to use and if you get it wrong you have a paper weight
I agree, i flashed the EDGE and VIM3L and they were a snap
Its hard to want to learn on these machines though. I think of them as my best units.
The boxes i gave $40. im not as concerned about because i can just throw them out if they get to a point i cant recover em. Ide never think of that with these
I understand, you don’t want to risk your best devices. That being said, due to the versatility offered by SBCs as opposed to a TV box, I am more tempted to take chances on the SBCs because more can be gained. Still, I don’t want to lose them. I have 6-7 TV boxes, not counting the Khadas SBCs, for the most part, the TV boxes set on the shelf, I spend all of my device time on the VIMs and Edges.
I had a vision for the S912,
they could have Increased the max frequency from 1.5 to 1.8 GHz and The 1.2 to 1.5 GHz why not even 1.8 on all cores ?
but of course they could make it from a better Fab process maybe 12nm or 8nm,
bring back proper support and call this new chip S912x2, Just saying
