Questions about ASUS Tinker Board

Hello larschuerch The Tinker board has the same size as well as the same connector layout as the Raspberry Pi. Therefore, the Pi enclosures are compatible with the board.

Any charger can be used. The same connections can be used. Therefore yes. However, depending on the load, I would use a somewhat stronger power supply unit.

Every ARM-based operating system runs on it. Theoretically, Windows 8 / 8.1 RTM would run on it.... If there was a setup. The normal desktop Windows that you run from your home PC or work PC will not work here. This is a so-called IA-32 (x86 / x64) processor. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Befehlssatz Hope to be able to help you so far. Kind regards

You can find a lot of material on this topic on Google. "Theoretically, any 5V, 2A USB power supply will work. However, there are big differences in the quality of such power supplies, and the ASUS Tinker Board - just like the Raspberry Pi 3 - may not run stably with particularly bad devices. By the way: The 3x USB power supply KOPPLA from IKEA (10 Stutz) is of good quality, a little insider tip ;)

So Tinker Board with Android is no problem, and installing the KODI app should also be no problem. I can't say whether it can be controlled via an Android mobile phone as a remote controller, but I assume that this should actually work when the two apps are paired with each other.

Yes, you can use it for 24/7 operation.

According to this video it should work, I could install Armbian on it without any problems and it runs faster than my Raspberry PI3, but I haven't tried it with LibreElec yet... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb5Eo98mTrQ

I don't know of any ready-made ones, but I suggest you take one of the many templates on the net, modify it and print it on the 3D printer.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. The Tinkerboard community is also much smaller. Whether there will ever be a similar solution remains to be seen.

TinkerOS is a Debian with LXDE as the desktop. Anyone who is familiar with it should have no problem. Tip for Android fans: An Android 6.0.1 version of TinkerOS has recently been released at www.asus.com/Single-Board-Computer/Tinker-Board/HelpDesk_Download/.

The majority of Windows operating systems are designed for the x86 architecture, while this has an ARM architecture processor. Therefore the two are incompatible. There are flavours of Windows that run on ARM cpus, but it's not your typical Windows environment experience. https://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/

Hello Witti. Unfortunately no, as far as I know, iTunes is only available for x86/x64 processors. ARM is not supported. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=102681
