- POWERFUL SMALL PACKAGE: Quad 64-bit 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A53 Processors, ARM Mali-450 666MHz GPU, 1GB of High Bandwidth DDR4, High Dynamic Range Display Engine for H.265 HEVC, H.264 AVC, VP9 Hardware Decoding.
- ADVANCED LOW POWER TECHNOLOGY: Only 2W power consumption in standard scenarios and compatible with most 5V power supplies. Built on advanced 28nm High-Performance Mobile (HPM) fabrication technology, power optimizations increases sustained performance under load while reducing failures due to high-current voltage drop, peak board power consumption, and brown-outs.
- HARDWARE EXTENSIBILITY: 40 Pin header enables hardware re-use by maintaining RPi compatible alternate pin functions like SPI, I2C, PWM, UART, and GPIO. Additional design features include ultra high speed (UHS) Micro SD card support, onboard IR, ADC header, eMMC module expansion connector, and more. Form-factor compatible for easy migration from Raspberry Pi 3 designs. See libretech-wiring-tool for more.
- LATEST SOFTWARE SUPPORT: Libre Computer provides the latest Ubuntu 23.04 and 22.04 LTS along with Debian 12/Raspbian 11 support with hardware-accelerated video playback and 3D graphics. Upstream software stack featuring the latest Linux 6.x with open source graphics and video libraries. Boards images features standardized bootloaders with UEFI support and behaves similar to a standard computer.
- OPEN SOFTWARE STANDARD: Libre Computer platforms run standard ARMv8 (64-bit) code from all major Linux distributions. Pre-compiled open source bootloaders are provided to strap any distribution, Buildroot, or Yocto images for rapid design and deployment. This platform runs standard Linux distribution kernels and an optimized Linux tree is available on GitHub.
- RASPBIAN COMPATIBILITY: Software made for Raspberry Pi is not compatible out of the box. Libre Computer provides the libretech-raspbian-portability tool on GitHub to convert existing Raspbian images to standard EFI images so that they can run on Libre Computer boards. Pre-converted Raspbian images are also available. Non-standard software libraries for interfacing with hardware will not work and will need to be updated.
- SUPPORT OPEN-SOURCE: Libre Computer is a major sponsor of software contributions to upstream Linux and U-Boot including support for adopted Allwinner, Amlogic, and Rockchip SoCs. For technical support, please use hub.libre.computer.
