Feature of single board computer

For those who love a variety of new items, should look at the Odroid-C1 +. The 40-gram platform created by Hardkernel. Product price of single board computer is 37 dollars.

The dimensions is 85 to 56 mm. Given the amount and good performance – an interesting device.

Established system for 4-core chip Amlogic S805 with a maximum clock frequency of 1.5 GHz. As for memory, 1 GB of RAM types DDR3. In the role of storage, it is proposed to use a microSD card up to 64 GB.

Responsible for processing graphics accelerator ARM Mali-450 MP2. The controller is able to work with the OpenGL ES 2.0 / 1.1.

What interfaces are available on board? ADC, SPI, UART, I2C, and GPIO. All that is required inventor. In addition, there are Gigabit Ethernet, full-sized HDMI, one Micro-USB, and four ports USB 2.0.

Of course, a variety of artisans and entrepreneurs have created dozens of buildings. For every taste and color. However, a formal decision has not been until now.

The housing device corresponds to specification Raspberry Pi

Now the “lack” fixed. The authors have come up with their own project to the shell. Pretty decent.

The “accessory” to the distinctive logo is the very solid basis: ABS-plastic. As for compatibility, the case for models Raspberry Pi 2 B, as well as the Raspberry Pi B +.

Available slot for microSD. There is convenient access to all connectors and ports.

A good thing, if you want to get a firm system in assembled form. The price is $ 9.

The popularity of low-cost mini-computer Raspberry Pi has spawned many imitators to light. Varying degrees of adequacy and price.

The last factor, however, has become critical. Some single-board solutions managed to surpass “grandparent” possible. But solely due to the higher value (above the psychological mark of $ 35).

The creators Odroid-W used a different approach

They were able to develop a “clone” of the popular system (first generation) for only 30 USD.

What is particularly interesting – the device is fully compatible with all software, invented for Raspberry. Future PC owners immediately gain access to a wealth of unique software.

The invention is extremely compact. Platform dimensions are only 60 to 36 to 7 mm. Dimensions Odroid-Wallow you to create prototypes of wearable electronics, embedded in the device “Internet of Things” and so on.

If you believe the official website of the project, the role of the processor performs chip Broadcom BCM2835 processor with a clock frequency of 700 MHz. He created on the basis of core ARM11.

In addition, there are 26 pins GPIO, 512 MB RAM Card slot microSD, microHDMI port, and microUSB. Alas, Ethernet is not (but it can be added using the corresponding expansion card).

In the world there is not only a Raspberry Pi. Of course, single-board computer for $ 35 – the best solution for enthusiasts (in terms of price and performance). But for some projects require a more powerful base. The proposed expansion of the list of possibilities: from a fast CPU to a decent graphics.

Miniature Gizmo 2 created just for this

199 USD it ensures adequate characteristics (such as CPU x86).

The novelty is created on the basis of a 64-bit chip AMD GX-210HA. Operating platform with 1 GHz. This allows you to install any OS as a distribution Linux, Windows Embedded 8 or system Minoca.

However, the main difference from the Raspberry Pi in the other. The device is equipped with a major in graphic core Radeon HD 8210E with full support technology OpenCL 1.2, OpenGL 4.2 and DirectX 11.1.

Gizmo is still equipped with a connector 2 mSATA / mini PCIe. Useful and necessary “bonus”.

Also “on board” device contains 1 GB of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, Card slot microSD, HDMI, two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0.

Raspberry Pi – a popular single-board computer – a good thing. If you want to build a robot to collect or laptop. But for the “Internet of Things”, he is unlikely to do. Too large.

Said topic requires a different level of compactness. In other “smart” light bulbs, sockets and other miracles become unimaginably huge.

Novelty called Onion Omega effectively solves the problem

Platform dimensions – 28 by 52 mm. However, it boasts a very decent performance.

The project – a chip with a clock speed of 400 MHz. In addition there are 64 MB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent pamyati.Plyus 16-port GPIO, as well as the module Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n.

Powered Onion Omega operating system OpenWRT Linux. Which makes it possible to program the board using popular languages like Lua, Node.js, Ruby, Python, PHP and many others.

Moreover, there is an additional plug-in. Adding power system, LED type RGB, USB ports and other features. All of the above makes life easier for engineers. At times accelerates the process of prototyping.

Sounds interesting. Onion Omega creators promise in the near future to launch a campaign to raise funds on Kickstarter. For serial production.

Low-cost single board computer Raspberry Pi appeared a few years ago and quickly became amazingly popular. That is not surprising. This is the best solution for projects in the style of “do it yourself”. At a price of just $ 25.

Enthusiasts instantly found use miniature novelty. On its basis, began to make game consoles, robots, media centers, and more.

A project developers Pi-Top turned the device into a real laptop. With the body of the details printed on 3D-printer. And the authors of the idea did not stop there. The first version appeared in September 2014. Now, users are encouraged version number 3.

A few months have brought a platform engineers “to the mind.” They managed to transform the design the better.

Significantly updated design of the device. Pi-Top Raspberry Pi has become 30% thinner than the previous (second row) modification. This allows us to spend less on the device fabrication materials and time.

In addition there was a large trackpad with two special buttons. Recent mimic switches computer “mouse” and offer adequate tactile communication.

It became easier to make some adjustments in the technical specifications. In what way? Using modular rails for integrating own PCBs.

Sounds interesting. It should be Pi-Top (according to sources in the network) about 299 US dollars. Includes Raspberry Pi. Without the above system will have to pay a little less – 265 USD.

Released in May of this year.

SBC Raspberry Pi still represents the most affordable solution for novice programmers. Not so long ago on the Kickstarter campaign was launched to raise funds for set-based Raspberry Pi, developed MAP Project Office and Kano, which allows on its own in a short period of time to collect a full PC. The entire assembly process can be compared to the construction of various shapes designer LEGO.

In addition to the set of single-board computer Raspberry Pi (Model B) includes an SD memory card with pre-installed Kano OS based on Debian Linux and visual programming language with a web interface Kano Blocks, housing board, consisting of two parts, homemade speaker, wireless keyboard with built-in touchpad, HDMI cables and Mini-USB, manual, stickers and several module Wi-Fi.

Developer notes that Kano set is ideal for creating simple games (for example, Pong or Snake), writing music or video decoding HD. Visual programming language with a web interface Kano Blocks, the creation of which was inspired analogue developers – Google Blockly, in turn, makes it easy to create games using the graphical blocks that are subsequently compiled into a Python code or Javascript. Notes that programmed using Kano Blocks can even children.

The following video filmed the build mini PC Kano.

Online Kano set worth $ 99 will be available in summer 2014. It is worth noting that during the first week on Kickstarter developers managed to collect almost seven times more planned amount of $ 100,000.

Master Todd Kumpf used to create this functional work of art old turntable Yamaha YP-D4, computer Raspberry Pi, seven-band graphic equalizer, and a five-inch screen of the portable TV that had been placed in a home-made body of oak. All graphics on the front panel is made by galvanoplastiki. The device has a pair of AUX connector, and can play both records and audio from an external device as Wi-Fi.
