Hi Pete,
Thanks for sharing the post about PI 4. It is an impressive piece of hardware
especially at that price point.
The form factor is appealing. Buy a module with the desired engine and high
density connectors to drive a custom I/O card. Several vendors have been doing
this with micro and FPGA modules.
I am also a fan of PCIe as a medium to move a great deal of data.
My hat is off to the originators of PI. I am not sure how they got Broadcom
(notoriously difficult to work with) on board initially.

HA! No sooner did I hit "send" than Newark sent me something about the RPI 4
compute module announced a week ago (details here and here).

Hi Kevin,
What about a cheap but capable board that could host Android and provide a
platform that could run many "smartphone apps" without the "smartphone cost"?
Some kind of AI acceleration would be a plus.

Triembed,
From time to time interesting "mini" boards appear from maker groups, ham
operators, etc. to solve a particular problem (current sense, fpga develoment,
DDS, etc.) These devices are inexpensive ( $50 +/- to a couple of hundred
dollars) and offer more specific capabilities than the generic OEM reference
designs without man-years of development. They have enough market interest
(100's or maybe 1000's of units) to justify development effort but not enough
to attract the Chinese Walkers (the giant four-legged assault vehicles from
"Empire Strikes Back"). My apologies to Mr. Lucas.
I am a HW guy. My wheelhouse is PCB's, FPGA, and firmware. My interest far
outstrips my ability on the host side (application development, device
drivers). I am looking for such ideas to implement as an open collaboration of
people having complementary skills.
Thank you for taking the time to read. I return you to the other 500 emails
in your Inbox. :-)
Sincerely,
Kevin Schilf [email protected]
