Buy yours now: https://www.hanboost.com/products/es01 (no affiliation, but they sent it to me for free) Apologies for any audio or visual hiccups - still getting the new office setup sorted! Correction: The GPIOs are connected to the RP2040 only! Note: If not already done, you'll want to update the BIOS, and enable C-states if not already done (thank you @r0galik) I also thought it was interesting that a fresh Windows 11 install didn't have the 2.5GbE LAN drivers, or the Wifi 6 (Radxa A8) drivers out of the box, but Linux Mint 22 did. Even after installing Windows, connecting with USB dongle and running Windows Update, it was still lacking. Thankfully Radxa provide them all. 👨‍💻 Join our SBC Community:   / sbcs   💬 Reddit Discussion:   / radxa_x4_intel_n100_sbc_the_first_x86_sbc_ive   💳 Patreon: https://plati.ma/go/ca9l ❤ DON'T FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE! ❤ 📚 Chapters
