## Background ## Background
With over 10 years of industry experience in computing technologies, I have owned a handful of RaspBerryPi through the years. After learning basic circuitry and microcontroller fundamentals thanks to Arduino back in 2010 or so, I watched rPi quickly captivate the industry. As a hobbist, I spent many hours trying to come to terms with the limitations in RaspbianOS; followed by even more time bridging the knowledge gap between what I knew from networking, embedded-systems, virtualization platforms, and Enterprise Linux and this fledgling ARM-based ecosystem. My fascination with ARM-based microcontrollers is in their use as an extremely lightweight replacement for rack-mounted servers.
In this regard, a power-efficent SoC that can run containerized services has quite the appeal for personal-use applications.
With the cost of power these days I am baffled at the thought of running the previous generations discounted servers at home.
As someone who has spent far more time building and managing Enterprise networks, servers, and services; all while trying to convice tenured Microsoft-indoctrinated IT admins that containerization in Linux was the future; I certainly didn't spend enough time completing weekend circuitry projects. It likely comes as no surprise that my fascination with ARM-based microcontrollers is in their use as an extremely lightweight replacement for rack-mounted servers--given you are NOT running computationally or storage-heavy workloads. In this regard, a power-efficent SoC that can run containerized services has quite the appeal for personal-use applications. With the cost of power these days I am baffled at the thought of running the previous generations discounted servers at home. A few years ago, with the ever raging popularity and scarcity of RaspberryPis,
I like many others found myself looking for an alternative "PiLike" SoCs.
After finding LibreComputers offerings, I was delighted to find the "Le Potato".
For under $40 USD, the [AML-S905X-CC-V1](https://libre.computer/products/aml-s905x-cc/) could reliably run Ubuntu-Server with support for containers!
Usage of a mainstream Linux-disto on SoC was a game-changer.
A few years ago, with the ever raging popularity of RaspberryPis, I like many others found myself looking for an alternative "PiLike" SoCs. After finding LibreComputers offerings, I was delighted to find the "Le Potato". For under $40 USD, the [AML-S905X-CC-V1](https://libre.computer/products/aml-s905x-cc/) could reliably run Ubuntu-Server (headless) with support for containers?! Usage of a mainstream Linux-disto on SoC was a game-changer for me. So I bought a couple and worked through the ever so "minor challenges" of getting started with a new platform. To my suprise it was rather straightforward. Fast forward to 2024, I stumbled across the somewhat quiet release of the 2023 [AML-S905X-CC-V2](https://libre.computer/products/aml-s905x-cc-v2/).
For just around $35 USD, this release sports USB-C power-in.

For just around $35 USD, this release sports USB-C power-in. But even better is the PoE support with the addition of a $15 USD [PoE hat](https://www.loverpi.com/products/loverpi-poe-hat-with-pwm-fan-controller-for-aml-s905x-cc-v2-sweet-potato?_pos=1&_psq=poe&_ss=e&_v=1.0), you can deploy these with a single cable, given you have the infrastructure for it.

you can deploy these with a single cable, given you have the infrastructure for it and don't mind 100Mb/s.
## Recommendation ## Recommendation
Efficient, featureful, and cheap; the [Sweet Potato AML-S905X-CC-V2](https://libre.computer/products/aml-s905x-cc-v2/) is just what the doctor ordered. Seriously, check out the specs. One could always ask for more cores, RAM, eMMC. However, this little guy is packing just enough for a streamlined CI/CD pipeline to host some tolerant webservices across the edge. (For obvious reasons, "the edge" is just my family and friend's houses across the United States.) The [Sweet Potato AML-S905X-CC-V2](https://libre.computer/products/aml-s905x-cc-v2/) is a great starter board.

If you need more RAM, USB3.0, or AI Acceleration is mandatory, checkout LibreComputer's [Alta](https://libre.computer/products/aml-a311d-cc/) or [Solitude](https://libre.computer/products/aml-s905d3-cc/) Models which can quickly double your investment.

### LLM on ARM
For my purposes, a handful of Sweet Potatos will do the trick, but if I start playing around with any [Large Language Models](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model)... like I keep telling myself I will, a few Altas in a cluster sounds like a fun experiment.
Maybe just biting the bullet and buying into in the [Nvidia Jerson](https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded-computing) offerings may be the play.
Or even just use that 4000-series Nvidia GPU for something other than filling up space in your handbuilt PC like the washed-up gamer you are (but that's not ARM!).
