Hello,

I can’t locate a cost-conscious Raspberry Pi 3. They all have their prices built up due to supply it seems.

Would Picroft run on any of the Libre Computer boards? They represent themselves as a clone of Pi, although I don’t have the technical knowledge to know if their would be more minute obstacles with the Picroft being based on Raspbian. [[https://libre.computer/](https://libre.computer/) - I have no affiliation]  
Maybe a better question would be: Does anyone see why Libre boards couldn’t run Raspbian Buster Lite?

Thank you all for your help

Mycroft should run on any Debian-style Linux. There are some other Linux distributions that can run Mycroft, too. Audio driver support for your specific board might be a problem, though.

Their boards are ARM boards but not Rpi compatible (broadcom based)

If you can get armbian to boot on them you can install the software but the pre-made images (assuming all drivers work) but you won’t be able to boot from the pre-made image.
