It sounds more like their “one drive” and OS setting sync thing.

Well amazingly I was able to link my Hong Kong credit card to WeChat, which actually worked and I paid $112.82 for it.

“Successfully purchased! Stay tuned for official announcements and related functions online!”

So time will tell.

I was under the impression that it was 800 rmb. It’s all very reasonable priced, just super difficult to buy.

– For government, according to some rumor, the price will be RMB 398 per instance. (https://www.cnbeta.com/articles/tech/932957.htm)
– For individual/personal use, currently a pre-sale is ongoing, which is RMB 99, yet it’s unclear if that’s the price for the OS or the web services. (https://www.uniontech.com/next/topic/presale)

Hope that helps!

Great! I added the board name to the list! I see they have the system jumper layout on there, that took me a good 30+ minutes to figure out on my own.. lol

Thanks for the leads on where to find more information!

You can flash open-source PMON bootloader on this board.
If you choose to use integrated GPU instead of AMDGPI then there is no blob in the system.

You can view wiki.godson.ac.cn for more information.

This board has another name, Lemote-A1901.

We usually install Fedora(3rd port) or Debian on this board as they’re free.
