Shenzhen Wesion has unveiled a lite version of the VIM3, called Khadas VIM3L SBC. Designed for HTPC / media center use cases, the VIM3L SBC is based on Khadas VIM3 PCB but replaces the powerful Amlogic A311D processor by Amlogic S905D3 processor, which should function just as good for video playback, but enable much cheaper hardware. The Khadas VIM3L offers support for the same accessories as the VIM3,
