### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great Experimental Tool, Poor Media PC Box
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2015*

I'd oredered this to experiment with using it as a media PC, replacing a tower and playing my video & music library. It'made a terrific general-use PC, did most everything pretty well from web browsing to music, to Netflix. The one thing it failed at was playing .avi/.mp4/.mkv videos. VLC and XBMC refused to open under Lubuntu and playing videos while running Android proved to be less than successful as well. Normally I'd just go to the vendor site and try different drivers or maybe use the Linux installer to install drivers or additional libraries, but the vendor site either led in circles or displayed "no content" pages. The Linux installer even tanked on several Mali/Open GPL download & installation attempts. My biggest issue is that the Radxa Rock Lite was billed specifically as being able to handle video.Maybe it's just a case of the wrong tool for this particular job, but it is a decent PC for use in Arduino development and it's a lot of fun to experiment with. I'm going to try an Odroid for media experimentation but for general use or DYI projects, I'd definitely buy a Radxa again.

    garbage
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2015*

seriously do yourself a massive favor,  do not buy this piece of crap! I'm experienced at using  microcontroller Development Boards, I've been doing it for years and probably have at least 20 of them for myself of different kinds and this is the absolute worst one I've EVER messed with! Right out of the box I flash the OS on the card stuck it in booted it and it reboots itself approximately every 5 minutes, originally I used a 64 Gigabyte card using there android/ ubuntu dual boot image, then I switched to just be ubuntu only image on a 32 gigabyte and then even tried the Android on the same 32 and every single one of them did exactly the same thing.Then of course after about an hour or it totally stopped working cpmpletely! oh by the way this thing is not powered by a standard Microor even mini USB it uses a special 2A USB wall adapter, and the cord itself is a USB to barrel adapter, try to find me one of those locally if you lose it. I wont even get into what it takes to change the video resolution on it, because its not smart enough to figure out if you're running 720 or 1080. the whole reason I picked this thing up was simply because it looked like a great deal quad-core processor for not much more than a single processor development board, I guess IT world it's true you really do get exactly what you pay for.By the way at this review has 1 star on it's because he won't let me send it with no stars. I'm telling you if you're going to spend the cash on this thing I'd look around a lil bit more to try to find a decent development board even though you may only get one for the single or dual processor it's going to beat this thing hands down especially if it actually works!

    The hardware itself is great, but the OS images available for this product ...
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2014*

It is not as friendly as a Raspberry Pi. The hardware itself is great, but the OS images available for this product need to mature more. If you download the OS image and the desktop goes to a blank screen after logging in, try creating a new user instead of the default Rock user. This took me a lot of trying and error before finding out. The Xorg contains reference to a missing library(no where to be found). If you want to run Android make sure that you generate the microsd image using http://dl.radxa.com/rock_lite/images/android/SD_Firmware_Tool._v1.43.zip. If not it will not work.Again great potential once they put a little more effort on the rock-lite version.
