The Orange and Banana Pi's use ARM SOC's with integrated Ethernet controllers vs the Rpi with the Ethernet controller on USB. With the open Mali drivers we can have accelerated 2D/3D as well now and use the Mesa cards over Ethernet. Some of the Banana pi's also have PCIe as a third option (SPI, Ethernet, PCIe) to connect to Mesa FPGA cards. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
