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
Bringus is great :)
That’s not an arduino. It’s a piece of shit cloud software enshitified Qualcomm abomination.
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 😀
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
I like your reasoning.
of course it’s john bringus
