Cubieboard is a Kickstarter project by a Chinese company for a Raspberry Pi-class single board computer. http://www.indiegogo.com/cubieboard
Specs: 1G ARM cortex-A8 processor, NEON, VFPv3, 256KB L2 cache Mali400, OpenGL ES GPU 1GB DDR3 @480MHz HDMI 1080p Output 10/100M Ethernet 4GB Nand Flash 2 USB Host, 1 micro SD slot, 1 SATA, 1 ir 96 extend pin including I2C, SPI, RGB/LVDS, CSI/TS, FM-IN, ADC, CVBS, VGA, SPDIF-OUT, R-TP.. Running Android, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions Aside fro the I/Os, I'm not seeing much here that distinguishes it from RPi (which recently boosted its RAM to 512 MB). It's described as an "open ARM box" but they never elaborate on what they mean by "open." One of the listed uses is: NAS - Cubieboard can drive 2.5 inch hard disk, you can use it as a home network file server. If it is port multiplier compatible, then it might be useful. (Or per an earlier thread, use it as an AOE-to-SATA converter.) If you infer pricing from the "perks", it looks like it'll sell for around $50. This is one of the most bare-bones Kickstarter pages I've seen. Not much info. They've raised a bit less than half of their $50K goal. The campaign ends December 7. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list Hardwarehacking@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
