[arm-allstar] Anyone tried Aliexpress RPi4B boards??

[David McGough]

I have a poor opinion of Odroid hardware.  I was an "early adopter" trying 
to use Odroid C1 boards, getting the first board in 11/2014. This was just 
months before the RPi2B was released (02/2015).  The C1's were plagued 
with hardware and Linux driver bugs. Then came the C1+ and more bugs. 
Finally the C2. And, you guessed it: more bugs.

Of course, by the point the C2 was available, the RPi3B was also available
and worked like a well refined champ.

In 2016, my biggest frustration with HardKernel as a company was that they
looked entirely at the SoC manufacturer for Linux driver support. That
support never came.  HardKernel had very few software developers of their
own and only a small, mostly non-technical user community.

Has any of this changed??  I've still probably got 10 C1, C1+ or C2 boards 
NIB.
