I'll have to dig deeper as I don't use RPi anymore or its clones. Like I said in my other comment, some hardware might work, other might not but I know for sure I gave up on original RPi because if I have to hunt one down for more than a year with constant promises in increased production, then it's no longer a product and we simply have to move on to something else.

Edit: Also many things that were stated in that video are simply not true but they are coming from not understanding Linux as a platform and by their own admission they are not a developer towards whom these boards are usually targeted. Understandable frustration, but I wonder if it's really that difficult as claimed to make these work. Randomly flashing images from internet is rarely going to result in a successful boot if you don't understand how things work.
