</div> they're not, lauri - thanks for the heads up though. the system i<br>
designed is for mass-volume purposes, for where end-users may place<br>
the CPU Card in their pockets (without anti-static bags or other<br>
physical precautions). the hummingbird design is for engineers who<br>
have experience with physical protection of devices, take care of<br>
anti-static precautions and so on.<br>
<br>
so it is very different.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Indeed; The design is based on a iMX6 specfic SoM, So the HB and the Cubox-I are build around one specific type of CPU's/SoC. The OEMA SoM is CPU/SoC independent. Hence the limited set of interfaces available on a EOMA card.<br>
<br></div><div>Building a RPi compatible 'baseboard' that has a EOMA-68 interface is no problem, IMHO. Might even be a good idea in order to ride the 'RPi' wave.<br><br></div><div>The SolidRun "Micro-SoM" does show that a EOMA-CF with and iMX6 is possible.<br>
