My ARM fleet

[Dirk Broer]

The experimental department got its Odroid-M1 today, it is now waiting for an M.2 NVMe drive to install an OS, straight from the 'petitboot':
"Petitboot pre-installed into the on-board 16MiB of SPI-Flash Memory helps manage various OS and kernel versions easily and supports booting from microSD, eMMC, NVMe, SATA, and USB storage devices".

Also arrived: two low profile 52Pi ice tower coolers, that went to the completely re-vamped '2B, Raspberry Towers' estate, and two 5V 80mm Noctua's, to help cooling the Odroid-XU4 (in combination with the Xigmatek N881) and the Rock Pi 4B. The chief engineer insists on a 80 to 60mm fan adapter, to make sure the fan fits properly into/unto the Radxa housing. He's a very suspicious man, our chief engineer! He doesn't quite trust the passive cooling housing, as he fears heat will be trapped on the inside. And he isn't all too keen on heatsinks that stand on the ground either.... and then to think of it that his engineering degree is actually in software....

As the Xigmatek N881 is in use at the very moment for the compute module 4, a new dedicated CM4 cooler has been ordered, combining heatsink and fan. The chief engineer seems to secretly hope to be able to mod a Cooler Master Evo 212 or 412S unto it.

The planning is that all new systems are in full operation before valterc of BOINC.Italy overtakes me at the WEP-M+2 Project.
