Today, I got a new SD card So I tried.
OS installation was not difficult as I’ve heard. OS is TinkerOS_Debian V2.0.1 (Beta version). I used
Etcherfor making image on SD with ease.Etcheris a really great tool!TinkerOS has already
lxdeand some useful pieces of stuff.(like Fonts, etc) Someone said TinkerOS is not so good as Raspbian. For me, however, It’s pretty enough.I’ve done some processes necessary like apt-get upgrade, install git, install node…
After then I tried to installMagicMirrorby auto-install scripts inMMsites. I mademm.shfor auto-start and reboot.
There was no problem.It worked without any problem. I’ve installed some modules for test, they worked also well.
Performance is really nice.
Of course,MMdoesn’t need so much computing power. But when I opened Chromium browser in Desktop mode, Wow. the performance was almost same with normal PC. (Yup, That’s what I’ve felt.) Moving window was very smooth! Page loading was so fast!
I know the real performance of PC class is very different with these Single-board computers, But I’m satisfied with this new toy. I confirm there is worthy of 20 EUR(the price gap with RPi3B) -
@Sean would be interesting to see the performance of cpu intensive tasks like offline voice recognition and face recognition and so on
-
@strawberry-3.141 Yes, I’ll try something like those. After that I’ll write here.
-
Just got mine as well. :)
Here you can find the OS (and other stuff), if someone else is looking.
Tinker Board Software -
I believe that as MM grows it is out growing the RPI. Hate to say it but at this point it really is… So this new board may be the answer for a few things!
-
Mmmm… I’m thinking MinnowBoard Turbot… Maybe? :)
-
@Sean what did you put in your mm.sh?
I can’t get the MM to run… I only get errors… :/ I’m on development branch…got this in the npm-debug.log:

Oh, when I tried it with the default “linaro” user it works… :) I used “my own” user at first… Now I’m going to add modules! :)

This post is deleted! -
Ah, just figured out how to rotate the screen. When logged in as “linaro”.
Open a terminal and do:cd ~ nano .xsessionrcPaste the following in the file and remove the # in front of the row (left or right) you want to rotate the screen. I am using left myself. :)
#!/bin/sh ## To rotate left enable below line. xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate left ## To rotate right enable below line. #xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate rightReboot to test. :)
-
All the same modules installed and here is the “nmon” result…
To the left is the “Tinker Board” and to the right is the “Raspberry Pi 3”. :)
And here is the module list:
MMM-Chart MMM-Globe MMM-JSONStatusChecker MMM-Memo MMM-ModuleScheduler MMM-Modulebar MMM-MotionEye MMM-MyCommute MMM-ProfileSwitcher MMM-Profilepicture MMM-Remote-Control MMM-Sonos MMM-SystemStats MMM-TextClock MMM-TouchNavigation MMM-WunderGround MMM-cryptocurrency MMM-newsfeedtouch MMM-plex-recently-added calendar_monthly mm-hide-all mmm-suncalc -
@Snille impressive!
-
@Snille MMM-SystemStat should be modified for CPU temperature. ATB write cpu temp on different location.
-
@Sean Yes, I noticed. I actually disabled the MMM-SystemStats module for now. It’s complaining too much in the log. :)

Hi again. Tried another OS called Armbian. I like the “looks” better to start with. So if you are going to use you Tinker Board for something else then being a MM. Maybe it’s a nicer alternative then TinkerOS. But for MM, it’s not. The over all CPU usage is even higher then on the RPi3… Tough, it seems to be X that’s hogging most of the CPU… It’s running XFCE instead of LXDE so, maybe that’s the reason…
If you want to play with even more OS:es you can find lot’s here.
-
@Snille Have you find
tvserviceequivalent? I cannot find how to turn on/off display programmatically on TB.
Willtvservicebuilding work? -
could use a hand as there doesn’t seem to be much support in the community which is odd!
Got one today, loaded a fresh sd card with a fresh install of their newest os and i can’t get it to boot! It swirls around and around for a while loading different things but eventually just crashing:/ Anyone else have this issue? Power supply?
-
@ranger33 maybe. Over 2.5A is recommended.
-
@Sean Oh, I missed your comment. I have not clue. :) Have not yet tested the turn off stuff. :)
