However, it sounds interesting. What > price range do you expect them to be when they are done? they'll be less than the a20 cpu cards purely because they do not have HDMI or USB-OTG. for volume it is a leetle early to get quotes but i can start asking and have people evaluate it, but i should imagine that a crowdfunding campaign would put it, along with a microdesktop unit, at around the $80 to $85 mark. the irony is that the CPU is no longer a significant part of the cost of these systems! > And how many > GPIOs does it have (when all GPIO-capable pins are used as GPIO)? that's an EOMA68 question not a CPU-card question (if you want EOMA68 compliance) and it's now 17 GPIOs. yeah i know, it's an odd number: one of them is a PWM. if however you are talking about non-EOMA68-compliance then you could use the 18 RGB/TTL lines plus the VSYNC, HSYNC, DE and CLK as an extra 22 GPIOs on top of the 17, so 39 in total. l. _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
