I meant it in the sense of Computer on Module / Single Board Computer, which is the generic term for a Raspberry Pi, but RPi kinda got a lot more press than CoM/SBC. > I don't see the point of it as a hobbyist device outside of a > few of the most dedicated sort of hobbyists.

However, I don't think it requires quite as much effort as you make it out to be. It's not like the time before the RPi and BeagleBoard when if you needed an SBC for business use you were stuck with the burden of purchasing one from some company with an index.txt as their website, but they knew you'd buy it even without documentation because you had no other option. There's an SDK and docs and a community around it. https://github.com/adapteva http://www.parallella.org/quick-start/ http://forums.parallella.org/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
