Question 1

Does this have a 64-bit Ubuntu image available?

Accepted Answer

The latest Ubuntu 22.04 distribution server and desktop can be found here: https://distro.libre.computer/ci/ubuntu/22.04/
Here is the video run through of the features and how to use them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDji4Yn_i8Q
If you want to run Raspbian 10 or 11, run this on your Raspberrry Pi before moving the MicroSD card to this board: https://github.com/libre-computer-project/libretech-raspbian-portability

Question 2

what power supply does it use?

Accepted Answer

We recommend at minimum a 5V 1.5A MicroUSB power supply. This should provide sufficient power for the board and basic peripherals like non-LED mouse and keyboard. The power supply has an important impact on system stability and reliability. If power from the supply is insufficient, the board will either not boot or experience random stability problems resulting in system or application crashes. See hub.libre.computer "Boot" section for many support inquiries as a result of power supplies that weren't able to deliver the necessary current.

The board itself uses 250mA at idle, 500mA with a CPU load, and around 1.25A with a theoretical power consumption workload. Non-LED USB keyboard and mouse usually consume around 0.1A. It is best to provision at least 50% more since voltage (and hence power) drops over long cables.

If you plan to use a high powered peripheral or USB device like USB hard drive or SSD, we recommend putting a powered USB hub between the SBC and the device. Such devices can use up to 10W (2A) which is well beyond the power budget of the SBC. You will have boot and stability issues without the powered hub. Simply using a 3A MicroUSB power supply will not be enough since MicroUSB's power pins can handle at most 2.5A.

If you see a MicroUSB power supply advertising 3A, do not buy it! It is a dangerous marketing gimmick. Due to defects in the Raspberry Pi 3 design, manufactures started advertising over-volted (5.5V+ at low load) power supplies. These power supplies have the potential to disable or even damage components. Over-volted power supplies will decrease the reliability and life of this and other devices!

Question 3

what case will work with it?

Accepted Answer

This case works.  It partially blocks the IR receiver, but if you don't use IR it works without modification or you can just not include the grill on the back and still use the IR sensor without modification.   Drilling out a hole would be trivial.

Question 4

Would this work to run a MotionEyeos server?

Accepted Answer

If MotionEyeOS uses UVC webcams and non-Raspberry Pi specific APIs, it should work. Just run libretech-raspbian-portability on their existing image. If it does use some proprietary bits from the RPi, then no.
