        The success of a board depends essentially of its users, the support and the community... so wait and see

          It has a different gpu, that means no existing community and support.
          The unduser-price is to high for new hardware like this, better buy a cheap netbook or tablet for the money ... same power and more software.

            Since the Asus Tinker board is now available, is there a chance in some way to have recalboxOS support one day? 🙂
            I think it would run some consoles quite good.

                  @lackyluuk i must admit i'd really love to port recalbox to it. This board has (at least) the power of a C2 (which is much more powerful than a Pi 3) without the flaws of the C2 (the C2 is 64bits, no real way for now to execute 32bits code on it for now whereas the tinker board is 32bits, the kernel of the RK3288 is much newer than the okd 3.14 one on the c2 and ... I think the mali GPU is OpenGL, not just EGL or GLES).

                  So yes, this board IS promising from a recalbox point of view. I'm just waiting to see some technical specs (how to boot ? U-boot or something else ? Specific drivers ? mali drivers which are not open source should be ok)

                    @Substring yep, the rk3288 supports OpenGL ES1.1/2.0/3.0 and OpenCL 1.1

                      Do itttt! This is gonna be an amazing piece of hardware for emulation.

                        @HBogard The board is not really available, and we'd appreciate a little help from Asus. We can't afford ourselves any board that is released

                            Anyway, no need to port recalbox to it as lng as it's not available for sale. Asus should release some "tech kits" by the end of the month, wait & see ^^

                                @Substring Asus is selling in switzerland. I could get one (the deal lackyluuk mentioned), did receive it today and installed the tinkerOS.
                                Couldn't get EmulationStation to run. Kodi runs fine with 16.1.

                                I would love to see recalbox on it:-)

                                    @lackyluuk it has a Mali T760 i think, so this is the real gpu that does the job

                                    No newsn from asus yet

                                        @peterpan123123 haven't found any reseller in France yet. Anyway the board looks very close yo the Firefly, which is already supported in Buildroot (except maybe the GPU). Porting to the tinker shouldn't be too complicated i think, but better wait for Asus tech kits.

                                        Dunno what tinker os relies on, but you'd need to compile ES from scratch. And the recalbox ES might not be the easiest to compile, although digi and rockaddicted do test first on their Ubuntu before cross compiling for Recalbox. But they know the trick
