I was looking for a decent SBC with a useful amount of RAM to use as my home server in my 10" rack case. Of course, some miniITX would also have worked, but that would've been too easy, right?
Anyways, I settled on the "Youyeetoo X1", and it is working absolutely great so far - I'd recommend it as an SBC for FreeBSD. It was as simple as plugging in a USB stick with the installer. HDMI works fine, too. That said, though, it needed some /boot/loader.conf tweaks, as well as the
The /boot/loader.conf lines added are:
The first line disables msi for the eMMC; my system would regularly lock up completely without that. The other three lines are for the realtek driver.
And that was it - there's really nothing else to say about that device, I suppose
