    Pre-installed to the emmc I assume? That’s nice for the out of the box experience, but knowing the nature of SBCs I’d like to be able to at least get a copy of the image so I can burn a new boot device when something goes a little sideways.

    Since you’ve worked with them before, are these the correct images? https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/lichee/th1520/lpi4a/3_images.html I did a little bit of digging from the link in the description of the video, if so then I’d gladly get a couple of these to play with. Dual Ethernet, and even PoE is awesome at this price point.

      Yeah, the one’s off sipeed’s site should work. I’ve never used it though, I basically built my own, tiny LFS image for it. Also, keep in mind that if you get a Lichee RV, it will be significantly less powerful than the Lichee 4A. It’s based on the single-core Allwinner D1 CPU and only has 512MB of memory. It’s a fun little board though!

      Edit: Just wanted to clarify: I have no experience with the 4A, only the RV model. I wish I did though. It looks pretty cool!
