Abstract:
This video introduces the SpaceMit Muse Pi Pro, a new RISC-V based Single Board Computer (SBC), highlighting its significance with Debian 13 "Trixie" making RISC-V a first-class citizen in Linux. The presenter performs an unboxing and initial review, comparing it to previous Muse models. Key features include a K1 SOC, a unique "hot and cold separation" design, 8GB RAM, 64GB eMMC storage, dual M.2 slots, Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, USB 3.0, and dual camera interfaces. While the included physical documentation is praised, the online documentation is critically slow and difficult to access. Initial boot and setup with Bayernboo OS reveal a responsive desktop environment and good thermal performance, even under load, with hardware-accelerated 3D graphics confirmed. The device's robust features and performance earn it a high "A tier" ranking despite its online documentation shortcomings. A second unit is offered in a giveaway for content creators.
Exploring the SpaceMit Muse Pi Pro: A RISC-V Powerhouse for Developers
0:00 RISC-V Takes Center Stage: The video introduces the SpaceMit Muse Pi Pro, emphasizing its RISC-V architecture and the significance of Debian 13 "Trixie" becoming the first major Linux distribution to fully support RISC-V, which is expected to boost its popularity.
1:18 Muse Series Comparison: The presenter clarifies the SpaceMit Muse lineup, distinguishing between the larger Muse Pi, the credit card-sized Muse Card, and the new Muse Pi Pro, each with different form factors and use cases but sharing the SpaceMit M1/K1 processor.
2:35 Premium Design & Features: The Muse Pi Pro boasts a new 85x56mm form factor, a green PCB (a first for the presenter), and premium packaging including a protective case. It features debug headers, an RTC battery connector, SD card slot, eMMC, two M.2 slots, USB-C power, HDMI, Ethernet, and four USB 3.0 ports.
3:33 Dual Camera Interfaces: The board is equipped with two camera interfaces (0.5mm and 1mm pitch connectors), supporting a variety of camera modules.
5:10 Innovative "Hot & Cold Separation": A unique design choice places high-heat components like the CPU and DDR memory on the back side of the board for better thermal management, differentiating it from more standard designs.
5:57 Robust Expansion Capabilities: The Muse Pi Pro offers 64GB or 128GB storage options, dual-channel Wi-Fi with external antenna connectors, and mini PCIe expansion, allowing for LTE/4G modems, additional Wi-Fi, or PCIe breakouts for peripherals like graphics cards.
6:48 Advanced Boot Options: It supports UEFI boot from NVMe, USB drives, and SD cards, with boot priority configurable via an EDK2 boot menu, bridging the gap between traditional SBCs and PC-like boot environments.
10:10 Critical Documentation Issue: Despite a good included physical guide, the online documentation website is frustratingly slow, often failing to load or reverting to Chinese, which is highlighted as a significant drawback.
11:10 Smooth Initial Boot: The system successfully boots to the Bayernboo OS desktop, though with a slight delay, showing a responsive environment, even with a blinking cursor for a moment.
12:47 Bayernboo OS Overview: The presenter details the various Bayernboo Linux variants (Desktop, Star, NAS, Rock) and notes that the Muse Pi Pro comes with the low-memory/power optimized Bayernboo Star 2.1, rather than the full desktop version.
13:40 Wi-Fi Performance: Initial Wi-Fi signal is poor but dramatically improves after attaching the included external antennas, with a warning against connecting antennas while the board is powered.
15:09 Community Giveaway: A second Muse Pi Pro unit will be given away to a content creator active in RISC-V, SBC, or Linux communities, with the presenter covering shipping costs.
17:51 Efficient Performance: The system runs cool (~30Β°C) without active cooling even when under load, drawing only about 0.5 amps idle and 1 amp during 3D rendering (approx. 5 watts), which is considered very efficient.
23:32 APT Update Anomaly: The apt update process downloads a surprisingly large 1.7GB O Lama large language model as part of the repository, which the presenter criticizes as unnecessary and wasteful for a system update.
26:11 UEFI Accessibility: The ability to enter a UEFI configuration menu by pressing F2 is lauded as a "huge step" for making SBCs more accessible by simplifying boot configuration compared to traditional device tree and U-Boot methods.
30:11 SBC Tier List Ranking: The device scores highly in most categories:
Price & Availability (3/5): Good price (~US$120), but only available through Chinese vendors without mass distribution.
Features & Specs (5/5): Excellent feature set (form factor, CPU, RAM, storage, I/O, connectivity).
Documentation & Support (1/5): Severely let down by inaccessible and Windows-centric online documentation.
Software & Images (5/5): Comprehensive software images (multiple OS versions, frequent updates) and good third-party support.
Performance & Reliability (5/5): Responsive general use, hardware-accelerated 3D graphics, good Wi-Fi, no crashes, and excellent thermal management.
Accessories & Compatibility (5/5): USB-C power, HDMI, audio, USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, 40-pin GPIO, and included case.
36:19 Overall A-Tier Rating: The Muse Pi Pro achieves an overall average score of 4 out of 5, placing it in the A-Tier, with the only significant downsides being its online documentation and current distribution limitations.
37:27 YouTube Playback Test: The device successfully plays YouTube videos full screen with 2D acceleration, indicating good desktop multimedia capability.
