Just wondering if maybe some day you might be able to include a version for these devices. The X86 version doesnt work and these machines live every where Iβm setting here with one running Ubuntu but it cant use the onboard devices like to wifi, audio or even HDMI audio so it useless as a nice little KODI machineβ¦ Thanks for all the hard work and I have actually donates a couple times and in all likelyhood will again
Hi,
Have you tried our x86_64 UEFI beta image?
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/1171#issuecomment-336522021
Got it running on the Z83-II right now

This looks interesting Fourdee how does this device compare to the XU4?

Is it running the onboard hardware? Thatβs so cool
Iβm trying it right now, itβs absolutly beautiful to be able to use something Iβve become so comfortable with. Thanks again for this one, Iβm looking forward to the first release version

Hi
Please let us know how it goes, and, If the UEFI image writing and install process is working correctly (iβve only tested my own board). If it is, iβll add the info/download to our DietPi.com site.

Hi John,
Its x86, should perform better in theory, however, its only 4 cores. Runs much cooler than XU4 under load.
Run benchmark:
apt-get install sysbench -y

Should we maybe move this conversation to a new thread somewhere else? BTW the install went smoothly and other then lack of audio itβs quite usable

This device looks good. Aliexpress have them from $87 US up - anyone know if you can get them cheaper or without Windows 10 (which must add to the cost)? With Intel graphics it may perform well transcoding video with Emby.
Update - just ordered one from Aliexpress - I wonder if the Windows 10 license is transferable as I am planning a new desktop build soon?
Edit - apparantly you can: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/transfer-windows-10-license-new-pc/

Excellent, thanks for letting us know, iβll get this added to dietpi.com and set to open beta.
Iβll make a note of audio issue.
For server usage, it should be stable. DietPi needs to work on audio and GPU implementation.
Got mine running PiHole and VNC server at the moment, so much faster than ARM
Hi, would u please add auto find the fastest mirror for dietpi x86 apt-get update command? I am trying to install the beta version, so far so good, however, the default ftp.debian.org is toooooo slow for me, it took around 1hour during apt get update(the os auto start updating and I canβt modify the source list) please β¦ pretty please , thanks~
and btw, awesome job guys, please keep it going, thanks
Shane
Iβve had mine up and running Transmission, Sickrage and openvpn 24/7 since this thread started without a single issue. I also installed Mate as an βincaseβ desktop. Itβs really very stable so far.
Just got mine today but not allowed it until Dec 25th

Hi, just installed dietpi on Beelink S2, but there is no audio support. Any update on when audio will be included in dietpi for beelink? thanks

Hi,
Very strange, on my Z83-II, audio support is working was setup in dietpi-config > audio:

it could be the beelink is using a non-standard audio chipset. Please can you paste results

Anybody got wifi working on these devices? I think mine is a first generation thing and maybe wifi is not working with this model. This is the model I have: https://www.banggood.com/nl/Z83-Windows-10-Atom-x5-Z8300-2G32G-4K-1000M-Wifi-Miracast-Airplay-DLNA-BT-TV-Box-Windows-Mini-PC-p-1048327.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
But no matter what i try, i canβt get wifi to work. I donβt see much questions about wifi with these boxes so I assume people got it working.
When i use dietpi-config, I get the message βWifi must be enabled before settings can be changedβ, i press βOkβ and i get this:
I havenβt been able to get it working but the hardware is capable as the wifi works on Windows on the same device.

It looks like Ethernet is listening to DHCP. Could you try to disable Ethernet first and enable WiFi afterwards?
Also you could try the current beta since we worked a bid on WiFi settings and general interface up/down on boot: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2140
