sorry been busy and away for awhile...
ya theres a few growing pains with both boards as far as the gpu stack and acceleration goes... and only time will tell if and when they are totally fixed, but the good news is progress is being made...
I quess it all comes down to what you want to do with the sbc's and how the growing pains effect what you expect to do with the sbc...
I've moved away from the typical media/tv player as theres so much more that can be done with the RockPro64 and the N2 as controllers for other purposes and are pursuing things in those directions... don't get me wrong as they both make excellent media/tv devices as well...
As well i have moved away from most of the linux distro's and gone back to bsd which actually works quite well and has a better licensing arrangement for any developer wanting more control and protection of their sources...
Slowly i have come to the conclusion that i prefer the Rockchip soc over the N2 for the area i am working in... The N2 is nice but when writing a development IDE i found that Rockchip and information is more readily available and accurate then a lot of the Amlogic info, but have noticed when it comes to media/tv stuff the N2 seems to be getting more attention then the RockPro64's which is a bit disappointing to see as the RockPro64 is a nice device as well...
Anyways good luck and best wishes to you and your endeavours...
