- | ====== QORTector Device Versions ====== | ||
- | {{:: | ||
- | The QORTector is intended to be open source hardware solutions that can be a cheaper alternative to those looking for a dedicated Qortal node. Qortal nodes need to be running 24/7 in order to stay synchronized to the chain.. If a node does not stay running 24/7, it will need to synchronize each time prior to making use of Qortal. Gen 1 was the OrangePi Prime H5 which has been discontinued by the manufacturer and wasn’t able to work properly as a full node. We have moved on to ' | ||

- | The QORTector Gen 2 device features a 500GB SSD storage, quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback (utilizing the latest Brooklyn kernel version)! The Gen 2 is a special purpose image for Raspberry Pi 4 Rev 1.1 and above that utilizes advanced crypto and server grade functions to facilitate minting and full featured accelerated desktop. Gen 2 has proven itself as a full replacement of standard x86 daily driver desktops at the expense of a fraction of power and resource utilization. All variants above Rev 1.1 for Pi4 up to 8GB RAM are supported out of the box. | ||

- | Crowetic Hardware Development (CHD) uses 3D printers to make custom casing for the device. For those making their own QORTector, the 3D printing files are available on the [[QORTector 3D Printing Files]] page for those interested in making their own case. Otherwise, any Raspberry Pi 4 case should work just fine, such as the Argon cases commonly used. | ||

- | The QORTector KB device features a 500GB SSD storage, quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB RAM, wireless networking, dual-display output, and 4K video playback in a compact keyboard! The QORTector KB uses the Raspberry Pi 400 board, which has the computer board built into the keyboard. We then connect a SSD to the Pi, with a custom Brooklyn kernel, and provide a cheaper option to the QORTector Gen 2 design. |
