Known supported hardware?
I'm looking at getting an ARM device to use as a remote backup (it will be a headless SSH server only). Is there any consensus on what the best supported devices are? Performance doesn't mean all that much to me, I'm just looking for stability.

Depends on how you define supported. Are you looking for officially or community support?
|
When I say "support" I don't mean receiving help from anyone; I mean supported as in "known to work on hardware X". If there is an officially supported hardware list then that would be great. So far I've only found the FAQ question about it, which seems to indicate that there is no officially supported list, hence the question to the community: What is known to work? I'm not looking to invest a lot of time, so if I can find out what hardware works without problems then I could go with that.

Ok, just found the actual list: http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:hardware:arm:start. Maybe a link to these docs could be sticky on the board?

I am also planning on adding support for the Orange PI A20 version (the H3 one doesn't have Kernel support mainstreamed yet). I also have a Trimslice Pro which whilst is out of production, is stable and fast enough and used to be the primary build machine for a couple of years, and was used again to bootstrap the hard float port. The only downside is that for some reason I have never been able to determine, I cannot use an ext4 file system on it so it uses ext3. Personally I'd go for a Banana Pi or Banana Pi Pro at the moment. |
I wonder how we can edit that wiki page. I can confirm the Raspberry Pi zero works also.

Ahh ok thanks, that's hard to find when you're used to a "register" link! Would be nice if there was a link up the top next to "Log In" (which would just take you to that "Edit This Wiki" information).

RTFM people. It is right in front of you, on the starting page.

I re-enabled the registration form - if I get hit by spammers again, this will be a short-lived action.

My excuse is I have kids so I'm pretty much distracted all the time.
No officer, I didn't see that speed limit sign :P |
