I found this fun video which show the potential of Steam Fex running on a basic ARM hardware.
Model used: https://www.arduino.cc/product-uno-q
That’s not an arduino. It’s a piece of shit cloud software enshitified Qualcomm abomination.
It’s officially Arduino, but indeed has nothing to do with the spirit of Arduino we used to know.
UNO Q’s hybrid design makes it the perfect dual-brain platform for your next innovation. It combines a Linux Debian-capable Qualcomm Dragonwing™ QRB2210 microprocessor (MPU) interconnected with a real-time STM32U585 microcontroller (MCU).
It’s as complex as running it on an rpi
Yep, it is not even worth an article lol
I bet the MCU is doing exactly nothing having to do with it either 😂
I would be interested if this little CPU somehow helps Qualcomm processors transition to mainline Linux instead of android though.
“microprocessor”? I think we call that CPU
More like an SOC, it also has GPU and DSP:
https://www.qualcomm.com/internet-of-things/products/q2-series/qrb2210
- Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU (up to 2.0 GHz)
- Adreno 702 GPU
- Dual 13 MP Image Signal Processors (ISPs)
- Always-on Qualcomm® Hexagon™ DSP –
Apologies, it’s an even worse name then.
It’s a pretty common way to refer to them in the embedded space
And it still run Steam 😀
of course it’s john bringus
For those of you who don’t want to watch a 20+ minutes video: This video describes the setup of steam on a arm-based arduino single-board computer with only 2GB of RAM. In the end, it worked … barely
Bringus is great :)
I like your reasoning.
