Interested in This on Orange PI 5 with OpenPilot #31

An amazing use case for this is to provide an in-dash display and touch control for openpilot, running on Ubuntu, which the latest Orange PI 5 may be powerful enough to run. Comma, who makes Openpilot software, sells a hardware kit that includes a screen and cameras, but it suffers from heat issues and the display must be mounted on the windscreen which can obstruct the driver's view. Also the cost is very high (~$1500 all in). If the orange PI with case and fan could be mounted under the dash, it would stay cool enough to avoid temp issues and running the display through the in dash screen would be a very clean, unobtrusive solution for the display and controls. Orange Pi + Case + ssd + cameras + panda + harness all in price is probably ~$300. Will likely get an Orange PI and try it out, any advice?

The N2L may be powerful enough but both of these chipsets would be pushing the limits.
