Features
- 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.
- 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.
- HIGH PERFORMANCE LOW POWER: AML-S905X-CC performs faster than a Pi 3 B+ while using half the power. It is designed with power optimizations to increase sustained performance under load and reduce failures due to input voltage and current. It is one of the first SBCs to support 4K multi-codec hardware decoding and features a highly performant OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU for accelerated 2D/3D.
- FASTER CPU AND DOUBLE THE MEMORY: Quad 64-bit 1.4GHz ARM Cortex-A53 Processors, 4K Ultra HD ARM Mali-450 750MHz GPU, 2GB of High Bandwidth DDR3, 4K 60FPS High Dynamic Range Display Engine for H.265 HEVC, H.264 AVC, VP9 Hardware Decoding and more. The top performing SBC in its price class.
- 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.
- NO ONBOARD WIFI: External USB WiFi/Bluetooth dongles (not included but available in kits) perform faster and with less interference than onboard WiFi/Bluetooth. Libre Computer boards do not feature onboard RF emitters for improved regulatory compliance. Bundles are available with external USB WiFi.
- 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.

I have been thinking about setting up a Pi-Hole for a while, and when I finally decided to do it, found that the Pi was almost unobtanium at a decent price. Came across this by accident, and figured for the price I would give it a try. So far, seems to do what I need. I had a few issues with setup, partially because I could not find what the LED's meant, but after I found out, got it sorted. And just FYI, the red LED is for power. It should be solid red all the time, if it is blinking, your power supply is not putting out enough power for your needs. The green LED is for the SD being read, it also is solid. The blue LED is an activity LED. If solid blue, the system is doing nothing, if 2 fast flashes, pause, 2 fast flashes repeat, it is running correctly. If working correctly, the red and blue come on solid when plugged in, then the green comes on a few seconds later as it reads from the SD card, then the blue should start to flash. There may be other meanings for them, but knowing this helped me figure out my issue. When I first plugged it in, I had a solid red and solid blue, no green. No display. Found out I had apparently bumped the SD card out of the slot. Put it back in, had solid red, green and blue. No display. Tried several cards (several brands and sizes from 4 to 32 gigs) and several OS downloaded from Libre's site (Rasbian, Armbian, Ubuntu), and moved to SD using Etcher, and had same result. Then realized I had not unzipped the files! Oops. Got Armbian loaded up correctly on a 4 gig card, and it showed solid red, solid green, and blue flashing correctly, but no display. Tried an 8 gig card with Ubuntu on it, and again, leds were the same with a blank screen. Put in a 32 gig card with Rasbian installed, and same, LEDs were on correctly, but still no display. Read on the Libre forums of some displays not working for some reason or another, and I was using a tv from 2008 or so, so went to a monitor that was a little newer, and still no display. Tried another monitor, same again. Was beginning to wonder if I had a bad board. But I had been using the same HDMI cable for all 3 displays, maybe that is it? Tried a 2nd HDIM cable on a 4th monitor, and it worked. I had the 32 gig card in there with Rasbian on it, so that is what I am sticking with for now. I may swap over to the 8 gig card later (my 4 gig cards are not class 10 and may be too slow), but for now, I am sticking with what is working. Got it all set up using a keyboard and mouse, installed Pi-Hole, got ssh and vpn working and put the board in a cheap case. I had some small aluminum heatsinks that I applied to the processor and top side ram just because. The case has a large opening in it for access to the side pins, but I like that because it will help with airflow. I now have it velcroed to the side of a desk, power is coming from the USB on the router, and is sitting at ~ 41-43°C with an ambient of 77°F. So as said, so far so good, it has been up for just a day, and am seeing a lot fewer ads (still a lot of youtube ads coming through).

Pro: it's inexpensive; it works; you can download a version of the latest Raspbian other Linux OS's I would have given it 5 stars except for the following issues: - it claims to be Raspberry Pi 3 form factor, but it will not fit in many cases. It has a bunch of headers in different places than on the Pi, and has an IR receiver that sticks out, I was able to make it fit in a plastic Pi3 case, but I had to do some surgery. Likely would not work in a metal case - no WiFi, only suitable for projects with wired Ethernet - it can't run stock Raspbian, there is a version you can download from their site which works, but there are a couple awkward issues with initial configuration that you have to do by hand

Micro USB-B is a terrible choice for anything more than 3 Watts. There is little excuse for continuing to use it when better alternatives exist. There has always been power related problems with even the original Pi, and 90% of that was born from the use of micro USB, directly or indirectly. Le Potato SBC follows the same dead end "tradition," and has tons of issues because of this. If you do end up with power related problems, which is highly likely, the "helpful response" you will get is akin to "UsE A bEttEr PoWeR cAbOl, iDIot!" ... No. Blaming the problem on your end users because you couldn't be bothered to add $0.10 worth of DC-DC conversion or use a newer connector is not the correct answer. Those "better" power cables are abusing the USB standards, which makes them dangerous for anything other than the these poorly designed SBCs. Some of the "proper" wall adapters have 5.5V+ at the plug when open circuit, which is RIGHT on the edge of legal spec. This is fixing one problem by creating another. Accidentally plug that into your phone and you may end up needing a new phone shortly after. Since this new SBC has this old problem, you have to deal with it. The proper *workaround* is to power directly through the header pins, using an adjustable DC-DC converter. This will give you lower voltage sag, so you can keep the at plug voltage to within standards complaint levels without fear that the on load voltage sag will make your board hang. The proper *fix* would have been to add a barrel connector and on card DC-DC regulation capable of accepting 5-25V input during design time, like a proper engineering team would have done. Or use a USB-C connector because 2014 was a while ago.
