Video Errata

There were a few wrong things I said in the video:

  • The Orange Pi PC features the Allwinner H3 SoC, which uses an ARM Cortex-A7 as it's CPU. This CPU only features the armv7 instruction set, there is no support for aarch64 on this chip.
  • The 5V power supply is, of course, a 230V AC to 5V DC switch-mode power supply (SMPS), not a DC-DC converter. Although, technically, it's still that on the inside, but I wanted to clarify it here.
