On the R-pi4B, its a bit bitchy, and you have to edit something to up
the signal swing before it works on the pi's. Since this too uses mali
video, I would not be surprised if it didn't need a boost too.
But I can't tell you where to edit, everybody has to be different, and
nobody has any for sale. My own experience with the earlier hardkernel
(korean) version was nice running armbian but the spi didn't work and
questions about it were ignored. Armbian also did not have a realtime
preemptable kernel, a must for my application. I do have one for the
pi3-4's, but I had to build it, no support from the foundation and then
figure out how to install it. But it works well, with uptimes in months.
This does look like an upward step in capabilities so I might be
interested in testing one.
