@sb what do you intend it for, if I might ask?
I work on a IoT management solution.
Not exactly robots, smart homes etc.
If you take this path (node, clojurescript) you should be aware that some node packages might not cross-compile out of the box. I had an issue with child_process, for example. I tried to link with host libraries. Although it was an exception, other dependencies were built smoothly
have you looked at olimex boards too ?
they have some pretty nice ones (better i/o than rpi and even native sata ... )
they are using the same allwinner cpu that pine64 folks do
https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-LIME2/open-source-hardware have a look around ... they have something on the a64 cpu too
Hmm.. Thanks!
