community VS c-ray

It did take a little work to get it running on mine since it doesn't have the most common chipset configuration, but what I had to do was grab the image from https://github.com/armbian/community/ then burn it to a micro SD card using etcher. Then it required copying the proper u-boot.img and editing a file to select the correct device tree for my configuration. I don't that the lunar XFCE version of the image was the most stable version. Once it was running, I used an octoprint install script that made installing that pretty easy. I don't remember the source exactly, but it should be easy enough to find.

I checked to see if they had added the board in the past few days because it wasn't there last I looked. It's still not there. Can you be more specific? I checked their github https://github.com/armbian/community as well and there's no sign of it.

The ship today price from amazon was $180.

I was curious about system power (not just TDP), so I hooked up a kill-a-watt, at idle, ubuntu 22.04, normal stuff running (like sshd) and so far it's taken 7 hours to accumulate 0.01 kwh, sadly not very accurate yet, so I'll leave it go till at least 0.02 kwh, looks like an average idle around 1 watt.

I've been pondering some easy benchmarks from the command line, so far I've come up with:

1) openssl speed -bytes 16384 sha256 sha512 aes-256-cbc rsa2048

2) 7z b # benchmark mode for 7zip

3) wget https://github.com/jtsiomb/c-ray/releases/download/v2.0/c-ra... tar xvf c-ray-2.0.tar.gz; cd c-ray-2.0; make; time ./c-ray-fast ./sphfract.scn -s 3840x2160 -r 4 -o output.pnm -p

4) any similar ideas that are easy, reports a useful number (or a few) in 5 minutes or less?

I'll run similar later on the rk3588, once I get a better idea of the idle watts.
