Roon Server on Linux on Arm64 Platform (including but not limited to Raspberry Pi 5)

I’ve seen a couple of platforms from Marvell that were interesting enough to make me want to try them out (not stuff from the hobbyist market…more like ARM bladeserver/NAS SoCs). Nothing at the level of a fast NUC, but some that seemed close enough. These are, of course, not much cheaper than a NUC and are less convenient…so no point right now.

Hello again Brian. You were very gracious with your time in this thread regarding running the Core on ARM SoC devices. You were clear regarding their inadequacies at the current time.

Could I however turn you attention to the current crop or Ryzen Embedded SoC offerings? Could you please have a look at the article and board linked to from that and evaluate if you believe it would be sufficient to run the core? Based on Passmark scores of the SoC used, it would seem so. Would love your opinion:

Ryzen Embedded Core Server Installs?

Now we’re talking! $378 for a fairly performative GHF51 Ryzen Embedded R1606G SBC, 4GB RAM. … WITH power supply and heatsink. Looking forward to part 2 of this article. Am I wrong? Or would one just need to add a USB3 [or better, USB 3.1 Gen2 ] HD/SSD to have a RoonCore Server in a raspberry pi form factor at a very affordable [commodity] price point? (And perhaps making a case for the combo would be my first 3D print project) Limited to 4GB of ram I assume I would want to run Linux [he…

Thanx!
