Support for ASUS Tinker board

Rockchip RK3288 Cortex-A17 Quad-core 1.8GHz
ARM Mali-T764 equipped with H.264/H.265 hardware decoder
Full-size HDMI 1.4 supports up to 4K
Dual-channel LPDDR3 2GB

Asus uses their own operating system (TinkerOS) for the Tinker Board which is based on the Debian distribution.

It has considerably more beef than the Raspberry Pi 3. With double the RAM, and a significantly quicker quad-core processor. While the Raspberry Pi 3 offers hardware support for 1080p, the Tinker Board has the hardware to offer 4k decoding.

Re: Support for ASUS Tinker board

I think you have to use the instructions for Linux installation. After all despite anything in TinkerOS it is still Debian under the hood.

Also just an FYI, the rPi3 also supports 4K not just 1080p

Re: Support for ASUS Tinker board

Raspberry version has couple of big advantages:
* It is lower level implementation so working much more reliably and better performance considering hardware constrain of RPi
* Does not require windows or Linux GUI. So less chance of issues.

Re: Support for ASUS Tinker board

Neel, you are right RPi version currently has mentioned advantages.
What I have in to do list is to support general lower level linux so you could use headless linux without GUI.
I hope to have it ready by two weeks.
