Thanks for the link. I have been looking to begin working with ARM based devices and have been trying to light upon a suitable kit to acquire. May I ask what kind of pricing I can expect? I had been looking at this board: http://boundarydevices.com/products-2/sabre-lite-imx6-sbc/ but it is rather pricey
