Hi
I am interested in my own open source project to use one of these SoCs.
I wanted to post my thoughts to see if I have come to any incorrect conclusions.
RK3399
More powerful.
Easier to develop mainline Linux on right now, but maybe not a difference longer term?
RK3566
Lower power consumption. Maybe better option without heatsink.
Much newer so maybe better long term.
Newer version of Android.
One thing I like about the RK3399 is that if an internal eMMC is corrupted or something then one can just put an SD card in and boot that, so I would say very safe from bricking. OK that creates some security issues for normal device manufacturers (I guess) but for open source hacking it's great. Is the RK3566 the same?
I already have a Pinebook Pro (RK3399) and I have ordered a Quartz64 to have a look at, I hope it can boot from SD card.
I am interested in Linux and LineageOS porting and development right now. Interested but not experienced, and I would like to learn.
Anyone think I got any of this wrong please tell me.
