Nice to see a successor to the H2/H2+ finally. > Power consumption: IDLE : ≃1.9W Better idle power than a Raspberry Pi 4 plus it has functioning suspend modes.

They have 2 dots in there, "1..9W" so I believe it's 1-9W not 1.9W.

Hard to say though.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What distro and kernel version are you running on there? The Realtek 2.5G NICs should work natively with a recent kernel.

Funny you ask! I just edited this in, realizing it was relevant. It's quite odd, this is with Fedora -- the current/latest release for about the past year (34 through 36). It's seen quite a healthy number of 5.x kernels, but every time I try to go without I reluctantly have to build it again It'll work fine, for a time, but when I really put stress on that link it'll drop Edit: This is trained at multi-gig too -- goi…

No guarantee that it'll fix it but for me it helped to disable ASPM, details in https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=39678

Certainly worth a try, thank you!

Seeing they have a kernel PPA makes me suspect too that there's some patchwork going on, where I'm using vanilla Fedora kernels

Who cares just about plain HW specs? Nowadays I also expect the info on whether it supports UEFI booting, whether the firmware gets updates (and if fwupd or not), and if mainline Linux can boot and from what version.

Too often these products have a limited lifetime (and are too hard to use) due to lack of the above.

After all these years I still can't believe the Pi 4 has no low power mode and uses like 2 W when completely shut down. Like seriously how can you mess up so badly.

'Fewer components', yadda yadda, and on the other hand they manage to include a full headphone jack that's completely unusable due to induced noise... just sigh

As others have pointed out, the value prop of these boards is running thin. STH covers a bunch of similar products, and this is a tough sell at $165. You can find many similar jasper lake router boards with 4x 2.5 Gbe in a similar price range, but they'll come in a proper case with a power supply.
