Very similar to UDOO Bolt - AMD Ryzen 5 mobile with VEGA 8 GPU, 2x HDMI, 1x GB Lan, 2x USB3, 2x USB C, built in AT32U4, SATA + SATA power, NVM, M2 and PCI-e
It is a nice little package but the price still hits me as too expensive for me but for someone wanting more power with just 2x the footprint of a Pi, it is a great device to go with.
I could see this being useful for smart home stuff. You could run Home Assistant, using the GPIO coprocessor for stuff like ESPhome, and have the horsepower and expandability to run an NVR like Frigate with a Coral TPU, etc.
I have one and actually use it for gaming (for now) with an nvidia RTX 4060 TI . Other uses I can think of would be the control board for a full size arcade cabinet like you see at dave and busters (the GPIO could be used to control fancy lighting while the compute can be used to run the game and backend software). Could similarly be used to run a slot machine and its buttons and lighting. Could use it to build a fancy cockpit where the GPIO is used to take input from various controls and switches, in addition to driving the displays. Could be used in an edge computing use case where the GPIO is used to interface with sensors. I can keep going haha.
lol speaking of bmw's. i wanted to integrate this to my GR supra. Canbus+flexray integration for diagnostics OTA software updates, datalogging, flashing tunes onto the ECU. Google maps, websurfing, and gaming for my passengers.
It's a neat looking device. Thought about getting one for game streaming from my PCs in another part of the house to keep the heat away, but they are just too expensive. I could get a M2 Mac Mini for the same price and have a more polished experience.
this is way overpriced - for spoiled rich kids - the low budget value refurb options are better - more cores, more ram - get this and zima board promo boards in 2-3 years
I agree. This is a cool little PC, but who is it really aimed for? Personally, I'd buy used HP or Lenovo mini PCs over this at a fraction of the price. I recently picked up three HP G3 mini PCs for $28 CAD each (without storage but I'd use my own anyways - with 1 x NVMe and 1 x SATA). They're not as powerful as the LattePanda Sigma but I don't need them to be, and they were a tiny fraction of the price. Plus they aren't much bigger than this. With exchange, the Sigma is about $800 CAD!. The Sigma is also essentially a throwaway device. I don't like devices that have soldered in RAM. On a cheap Raspberry Pi it's fine but the Sigma is a pricey SBC. RAM is one of the cheapest things to replace when it fails and when it fails on this, you have to buy a whole new device.
Does the inband ecc work exactly similar to regular ecc dimms? Is there a way to create hardware raid with intel rst driver, curious to know if sata and nvme can be paired up to form raid1.
This would be a good platform for development in an industrial environment. I don't know if it would be robust enough for production use, but this would have been handy back when I did some development work with automated pallet conveyor systems. We used to use a PC for data acquisition and monitoring connected to our controllers with a serial cable. Something integrated like this would eliminate a number of points of failure we dealt with.
Robotics. The microprocesser would be great for handeling leds, a PID regulator for motor control or just have it doing some low power operations. Then use the CPU for more compute heavy tasks like recoding, analysing and streaming video or hosting a web interface, database and simular stuff.
