That looks awesome. Consider me a customer (hobbyist) when it's
available.

It is the OMAP5 CPU (Dual Core Cortex A15) board designed for the Pyra
Handheld, but offered separately.

The special thing is that it is not only a replacement part, but gets
support by an evaluation version that can be operated stand-alone.

And a blueprint design file (EAGLE) will be available with proper
placement of the connectors for some to-be-designed motherboard. For
simple applications a 2-layer board will suffice and 4-layers should be
enough for everything.

Yes, they will be diverted from Pyra mass production.
So availability is strongly connected.

[Tinkerphones] Letux Cortex 15

[Paul Bryan]

I can't find many details about this little board. I think it has a lot
of potential. Are there any specs on this? Will there be additional
boards available when the Pyra goes to full manufacturing run?
