OnLogic ML100G-41 - A Great AMD Ryzen Powered SFF Industrial-Grade Computer
The OnLogic ML100G-41 review unit as configured had the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U eight core / sixteen thread SoC with Radeon Vega graphics, 2 x 8GB of DDR4-3200 system memory, a 512GB SSD, and Ethernet backed by the Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE and Realtek RTL8111 Gigabit Ethernet. OnLogic is using the ASRock 4X4-4000 motherboard.
The ML100G-41 can be configured with up to 32GB of RAM, up to a 1TB wide temperature SSD, possible 4G LTE modem connectivity, and optional RS-232 COM header. Pricing on the ML100G-41 starts out at $978 USD. More details and for custom pricing see the ML100G-41 product page.
OnLogic offers customers the choice between Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS for the ML100G-41. There is also the option of no operating system at all if wanting to load your own Linux distribution of choice on the hardware. For the number of years I have been testing OnLogic / Logic Supply hardware at Phoronix, their devices have been Linux-friendly and worked well with the latest Linux distributions at the time of launch - it's no different this time around with this first AMD-powered device I am testing from the company.
So far I have been testing the OnLogic ML100G-41 with the likes of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 21.10, and Fedora Workstation 35 without issue. Given this is a Renoir SoC, the Linux support is in good standing for any relatively recent Linux distribution while those with newer versions of the Linux kernel and Mesa for instance may enjoy faster or more featureful graphics support among other newer features.
But long story short, the Linux support is good to go for this Ryzen 4000 series powered industrial PC. The only critique would be wanting to see OnLogic supporting the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) with Fwupd support for firmware updating under Linux - hopefully they will join the growing list of other device manufacturers to provide this more convenient firmware updating support for Linux customers.
