Do you know an low power #SBC which has got both an #AP(Application Processor) and an #MCU(micro controller) and TRMs(Technical reference manual) are available in English in the public?

I don't need something fancy. A Cortex-A7 for the AP with at least 128MB RAM is enough. #riscv is okay too.

The only one I know is #milkvduo. The SoC has got an application processor(either RISC-V or 1xCortex-A53), and two MCUs.

Also I want the SBC to have #Wifi.

Also I want something cheap. not more than 25 USD.

I want use it to build a #customkeyboard which could also act as a micro PC:

Boosts appreciated.

Powering up me #LibreComputer #LePotato with #BatoceraLinux for my cousins. Last time I did so, I remember it had some bug with storage. Checking to see if the bug is still there to report.

Okay so I need to make my own split mechanical keyboard. But I want my keyboard to have dual functions. Both a keyboard and a "micro" PC. After long discussions in Rust Offtopic Matrix room and then Rust Embedded room, I think it's a good idea to use Milk V Duo as the processor for my keyboard. And then add video output(HDMI), speaker/buzzer, microphone and Wifi. A shortcut on the device will switch between micro PC and ordinary keyboard.

An advantage of sophogo sg2002 SoC is that the TRM is fully available in English. This will be useful when I want to enter kernel development later. For now I will just do Linux on it.

A Milk V Duo with 512MB RAM and with Wifi costs only 18 USD.

5 clever ways I use a Raspberry Pi display around the house (By Jeff Butts)

#RaspberryPi #SingleBoardComputers #SmartHome #HomeAutomation #XDADevelopers #EverybodyLovesPi

https://www.xda-developers.com/clever-ways-use-raspberry-pi-display-house/

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

• Hardware: #RaspberryPi500 (8 GB RAM, 512 GB SD card) #RPi #RPi500 #SingleBoardComputers #HomeLab
• OS: #Stormux, an accessible #Linux distro based on #ArchLinuxARM #LinuxAccessibility #AccessibleTech

Infrastructure & Networking

• Dashboard: #Glance (#Docker) #DockerApps
• Reverse Proxy: #Caddy
• DNS: #Cloudflare
• Domain Registrar: #Porkbun
• Networking & Remote Access: #Tailscale (non-Docker), love its SSH agent and magic DNS features. #NetworkSecurity

Security & Monitoring

• Ad Blocking: #AdGuardHome (non-Docker). Previously used PiHole but find AdGuardHome slightly faster. #PrivacyTools
• Server Monitoring: #Beszel (non-Docker). Tried Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager (accessible but overkill) and Netdata (poor screen reader accessibility). Beszel isn't perfect but best compromise so far. #ServerMonitoring
• Server Overview: #Cockpit (non-Docker)
• Security Tools: #Fail2ban, #FirewallD, #ClamAV, and #Rkhunter (non-Docker). Tried CrowdSec but couldn't get it working on Stormux. #CyberSecurity
• Service Uptime Monitoring: #UptimeKuma (Docker), accessible and easy to use. #MonitoringTools

Authentication & Identity Management

• Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  
• LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
  #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

• Docker Management: #Dockge (Docker). More accessible than Portainer; main issue is built-in terminal isn't readable with screen readers. #DockerCompose
• Docker Logs Viewer: #Dozzle (Docker), great web interface and easy searching.
• Git Hosting: #Forgejo (non-Docker), my personal Git server. #GitServer
• Backups: #IDrive (non-Docker), backs up all my devices easily. #BackupSolutions
• Notes: #Joplin server (Docker). Accessibility improving; love the VSCode extension. #NoteTakingApps
• Bookmarks: #Linkding (Docker). Accessible bookmark manager with good browser extension support. #BookmarkManager
• Recipes: #Mealie (Docker), starting to learn cooking! 🍳📖  #CookingApps
• RSS Feeds: #Miniflux (non-Docker), excellent accessibility. Originally wanted better podcast support but other options had major accessibility issues. #RSSReader
• Automation & Workflows: #N8N (Docker). Haven't explored deeply yet—open to ideas! #AutomationTools #WorkflowAutomation
• Pastebin Service: #PrivateBin (non-Docker). Considering alternatives or CLI tool for easier console access. #PastebinAlternative
• File Sharing & Editing: #Samba (non-Docker), easy file management from my Windows 11 mini PC. #FileSharing #Windows11
• Search Engine: #SearXNG (non-Docker), accessible and searches multiple engines at once. #PrivacySearchEngine
• IRC Client: #TheLounge (non-Docker). Some accessibility issues but best I've found so far for always-connected IRC. #IRCClient
• Read Later Service: #Wallabag (Docker). Biggest issue is Wallabagger Chrome extension doesn't work for me yet. #ReadItLater

Notifications & Development Workflow

• Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
• Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

• Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
• Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

A Newer, Cheaper Raspberry Pi 5 is Available

Launched less than a year ago, the Raspberry Pi 5 has proven widely popular with single-board computing fans and Linux ARM enthusiasts thanks to its increased performance, memory, and PCIe bus for expansion. But until now the Raspberry Pi 5 has only been available in two variants: a $60 model with 4 GB RAM, and a $80 model with 8 GB RAM. Ample memory for resource-intensive workloads (like running a full Ubuntu desktop), but not everyone needs or wants that much memory, at the increased cost, for simpler projects. Which is why the Raspberry Pi has introduced a new $50 :sys_more_orange:
