My complaint is not about the hardware (which is great) or that the software cannot be "fixed" (it can and its not really that hard once you figure it all out - well, except for the reboot issue, which is still outstanding).
My biggest complaint is the almost total lack of attention to this product and these issues from Pine. They created it and just don't seem to care. They seem more interested in fancy photo ops at FOSDEM than actually delivering working product.
Also disappointing is the reaction of the leading portions of the "community". The semi-official "community" builds for this product just don't seem to understand that is doesn't work "out of the box" on the Clusterboard - only on the on the baseboard (which is just intended as a test target, not a deployment platform).
I do not think that people like Armbian have any duty or responsibility here, but the fixes have been delivered to them on a platter, were integrated into a prior build (the 3.14 Xenial build that still seems to work) but were unceremoniously dropped when moving the builds forward and are broken again. That is also disappointing.
