Good to know. I haven't ventured into GPIO in the 5 years I've been working with the pi. I use it mainly for back up drives, and occasional browsing while I'm in an on-line meet
I'd single out Odroid as being very highly priced by comparison but also very well built: the problem is that the boards take a while to be fully supported on non-vendor kernel and in vanilla Debian - and by that stage, the board may be out of production.
I'd prefer to stick to debian based. I keep reading the debian how to set up network, but clearly I'm missing something somewhere as I haven't gotten it working yet. Boots ok. I can't use a wire to connect to the modem - it's too far awa
Pine's RockPi with 4G of memory seems to work quite well and be relatively well supported.
Thank you. As it happens I was looking at this the other night.
Factor in cases, eMMC and so on as well, if you want them. A lot of the boards do not hve a custom made case and some of them will be non-standard shapes/sizes.
