I'm a noob at this, but at a first glance it looks difficult to get all the peripherals and hardware acceleration working when compiling from sources. Anyway, I am really keen on getting one.

The hardware acceleration that is problematic is that of the Arm Mali GPU and of the video codecs.

This is normally provided in all Arm SoCs by binary blobs. Nevertheless, at least for the Mali GPU there is a reverse-engineered driver in the Linux kernel, which might be usable with RK3588.

In any case, this hardware acceleration is the same in all RK3588 boards, regardless of the vendor, it is not specific to NanoPC-T6.
