Really am loving my Jetson, a few students are using one to do their projects on, and I had to hook mine up to test their work, in the meantime it got me looking at just how much more powerful the GPU is compared to a RPi4....honestly there's no comparison... its comparing a snail with a jet plane.
It also just feels much more robust generally, the OS is updated regularly, as are the drivers I belive, and the thing just shifts polys around like a beast.
I put a jumper on the power system to see if it would run a bit faster with a Jack rather than an Micro SD and the answer is no.... maybe you can overclock it a bit more with the jack but in standard mode the jack does not change the power levels at all.
The Corona lock down means I'm doing a lot more work at my desk, and the fact my students are using SBC's to develop some graphics work, means I am getting to see some interesting and at times inspiring work being done which I'll try to share here. We're not letting them use anything above GLES2.0 for now though so the Jetsons and Pi4's full potential is not yet being realised, but I hope a few of them get the bug and share the results here.
