It looks cheaper than the Wandboard? http://radxa.com/specification/
Does look neat and yes, does appear to be cheaper. Might take a punt on
one
actually, see if it cuts the mustard. Thanks for pointing it out.
The RK* thingies are fairly cheap, indeed, but I managed to brick one with a simple "dd" from Android and still haven't managed to unbrick it.
From that point of view the Allwinner ones are very friendly (since you
can boot from uSD even with a completely broken nand flash).
StefanHi Stephan,
I don't know if it could help you, but the Radxa Team post a tip/advice to "unbrick" their platform in case it happens. http://wiki.radxa.com/Rock/unbrick

I saw that, indeed. A cursory scan gave me the impression there's nothing fundamentally new there about how to unbrick an RKnnnn device (e.g. assumes you have a Windows machine at hand).

What?
The instructions are specifically Linux only, using upgrade_tool.
Daniel.

Oh, indeed, I focused on the "RKBatchTool" part and completely overlooked the "upgrade_tool" part (which is indeed new to me).
Yay! I'll get to give it another try! Thank you,
