    I think he said in an earlier video that the Lichee 4A comes with Debian pre-installed.

    I own its predecessor, the Lichee RV. It recommends flashing one of their images to a flash card for that one, but I ended up compiling my own bootloader, kernel, etc just because I wanted to, for fun.

      Pre-installed to the emmc I assume? That’s nice for the out of the box experience, but knowing the nature of SBCs I’d like to be able to at least get a copy of the image so I can burn a new boot device when something goes a little sideways.

      Since you’ve worked with them before, are these the correct images? https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/lichee/th1520/lpi4a/3_images.html I did a little bit of digging from the link in the description of the video, if so then I’d gladly get a couple of these to play with. Dual Ethernet, and even PoE is awesome at this price point.
