Well done! I’m tempted… 8~) …but really, my Pi3B is doing everything I need, faster than I can think, anyway…for now…

Big thanks to Jeffrey , JB, and everyone else who helped me on the way. Couldn’t have gone this far without you.

Native Gigabit Ethernet, HQ sound, intégrated (fast?) eMMC. And twice the power of a Pi3. Very promising… but still a lot of work for you Michael :)

Just a stupid idea: try to concentrate on the source code of RISC OS 5.24 (when available). So you’ll be able to propose something very closed to the official system.

Yea a lot of work remains. I think ethernet is next on my list.

One more: now that you do not use serial transfers any more, can you post a new score for RISCOSmark (latest version is 2.06)?

With overclock up to 2.18 GHz (needs a fan and a 3 amp PSU), the TinkerBoard will be probably the fastest RISC OS offer on earth.

It would be boring results as the system is not up to full speed.

Perhaps, but I bet it’ll be better than before :)

There is no accelerated rect copy right now.
I don’t know about the cpu, but it feels a bit slugish. I will try to investigate that at some point.

Thanks.
Very promising. Already better than OMAP3 :)

Nota: I suspect you’re sticked on slowest speed:

First board running RISC OS with a Rockchip CPU/SoC. First board running RISC OS with a Mali GPU. Impressive. And now go for the finetuning – how about hardware-based UHD H.265 playback :-)

Full speed, full GFX, native Ethernet, native audio, microSD support… and eMMC?

And of course a kit from CJE/RComp to get max speed (silent fan, a specific 3A PSU connected to GPIO pins, and a case).

Thanks and thanks. I could definitely do with a beer och two

You’ll need more :)

Well

Ethernet is in making.
I will probably implement upclocking in u-boot ( I can use source from linux to do so). I want to make sure that it gets right done. The ARM-PLL runs in 1Ghz now so that is what the cpu is in.
Native audio? THere is usbaudio on the ehci controller, dunno what else.
GFX well… we will see.
microSD , will be made
eMMC maybe not.
