Hi everyone,
Just finished building my uConsole this weekend, over the moon with how it has all come together (finally). Maybe it’s old news, but I noticed in htop that there are only 4 cores running on the A06 version. This appears to be the same as the devterm out of the box config. Presumably it’s for power/thermal management, I was surprised but seems like it’s already been documented. On this basis I’d recommend the CM4 version for anyone who’s trying to decide, the RK3399 is a nice chip, but without 2 cores running (haven’t tried turning them on, but for sure it’s going to hit the battery life) there’s no reason not to go for the CM4 version. I might put in an order for the adapter plate soonish.
Link to the devterm thread.
Also the wifi on the A06 (and presumably the RISC-V too) does suck (until you hack it), but still otherwise, great job clockwork pi 10/10!
