I even found a version of Raspian to run on it that works. It's slightly more powerful and for the price with free shipping it's a deal. Review: Not a lot of support... - Overall, I like these devices boards a lot. I haven't done much with them yet, but I have a couple ideas in mind. Ok, so hooking up a 5in Elecrow screen worked natively with the mini hdmi display port provided. Also, usb otg wireless mini keyboard worked natively as well. I'm running Raspbian just fine, but Bluetoothctl doesn't appear to be able to find the Bluetooth module, but WiFi is working well with a little bit of setup of course. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because there's not much support for them online, but maybe with some luck, bananagotchi?

Don't buy *by E***. on May 17, 2023* The board itself functions, but the most current SD card image I could find was from 2020. Armbian "supports" this board, but only the onboard WiFi is recognized and it is terrible. The board runs hot (63C) doing nothing (sitting at command line interface with wifi off) Why? Unless you're really interested in rebuilding your own linux image for this board, don't buy this. It makes a Raspberry pi look like a luxury car while this board is a kit car from aliexpress Edit: ...and to the surprise of no one, the after sale support for this board is awful. WayPonDEV decided that the best way to help is to argue with me for the past 2 days. Save yourself the hassle.
