Can we use a Khadas VIM1instead of a Raspberri Pi 4?

Last Updated on December 3, 2022 by pg@petergamma.org

  • because of Covid 19, the Raspberry Pi4 is hardly available. Similar as for the HackEEG, it can take up to one year, until it is again on stock everywhere
  • The Khadas VIM1 is less powerful than the Raspberry Pi 4
  • it has no USB 3.0
  • as far as we know no connector for the official Raspberry Pi Touch LCD which is connected to the motherboard:

  • This means as far as we known, no fast SSD boot option for the OS and no Fedora touch display option
  • is currently not available on Aliexpress:
