Van Tech Corner ： Zimaboard Overview – OpenWRT Installation & Performance Test

[English subtitle available] ZimaBoard is an x86 Single Board Computer. In this video, I am going to show you an overview of the Zimaboard. After that, we will install OpenWRT on this board and see how it work as a router. I have also configured PPPoE with VLAN and the device was working great. Due to the video length, I only performed some basic throughput tests with OpenSpeedTest & iperf3 (WAN port as DHCP client). Further tests will be in the next video.
