<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">sounds very interesting ... i think a good number of people are interested in a cheap A10 board thats open enough to allow the general community to easily support and develop it ... be good if you could stretch it to 1GB RAM and clock it towards 1.5GHZ. <br>
<br>i know theres been a good deal of heat on this subject but personally I dont have an issue if people want to earn money from patents on "open" projects, though more generally patents nowadays are often used as a barrier to entry to stifle competition and innovation. <br>
<br>.... for me its the final price, product functionality (and to a lesser extent the degree of openess for community support and development) thats important but i think for a lot of people a plain and simple "all in one board" you propose sounds very interesting.<br>
<br>can i ask if you plan to include ethernet on it (i'm slowly eliminating wifi devices from my flat to depollute the airspace :-)<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>the preliminary specs we work on are:<div>
<br></div><div>A10 / AXP209</div><div>512MB DDR3</div><div>USB host x2</div><div>USB OTG</div><div>HDMI / VGA / Composite video</div><div>Ethernet </div><div>Sata</div><div>+(optional WIFI)</div><div>+(optional NAND 4GB)</div>
<div>JTAG / GPIOs / UARTs / SPIs / I2Cs / CAMERA / LCD / on 0.1" connectors</div><div><br></div><div>still didn't decided if we will add possibility board to work on LiPo 3.7V battery as this require adding step-up for USB hosts<br>
<br>(optional) means we will layout it but may not populate these to lower the price</div><div><br>we work on both A13 and A10 schematics in parallel but A13 will be routed easier and I expect to have first A13 prototypes in June, the A10 prototypes probably in August</div>
<div><br></div><div>overclocking to 1.5GHz should be possible by the hardware but I don't know how useful it will be for serious applications<br><br>we target the price of A10-OLinuXino to be in EUR 50-60 range</div><div>
<br></div><div>the project will be open source both hardware and software like iMX233-OLinuXino and all files will be on GitHub under CC-BY-SA 3.0 licensee for the hardware and GPL for the software.</div><div><br></div><div>
