Faster board for Kano OS than Raspberry Pi

Wabi Sabi

Dear Arm Gurus,

I've been playing around with a Kano kit with my son, and I can't stand the slowness of Raspberry Pi 3. With no Pi4 on the horizon. Would you happen to know a good alternative board to install Kano OS on?

Thank you very much.

Wabi.

    Hi Wabi, 

    I have the exact same problem. My daughter loves Kano OS, but the R Pi board is too slow. I was going to try to install Kano OS on a better board during the end of year break but didn't get much time. 

    My first target is going to be Rock 960 https://www.96boards.org/product/rock960/ 

    I have a board and it runs Linux very well. The Mali GPU drivers were easy to get and install from public downloads. 

    I would love to work on this with anybody who is interested to figure it out. 

    Thanks,

    Jason

    This looks very promising. I am more on the front-end software development side, so my hardware/low-level OS skills are severely lacking. What exactly would be required to get it up and running?

    Wabi, 

    I have hit a roadblock here. I have contacted the Kano software team and they did acknowledge my request, they think it's a reasonable idea, but have not provided all of the needed software. There is not enough on github to proceed. 

    If I do get more info I'll let you know, but it doesn't look like any progress can be made as of now. 

    Thanks,

    Jason
