Preliminary schematic of the iMX233-OLinuXino has been uploaded to GitHub. This is very rough and will have lot of changes. These changes will possibly be uploaded on Monday. https://github.com/TsvetanUsunov/OLINUXINO/blob/master/HARDWARE/iMX233-OLinuXino-Rev-A.pdf A new user group has been set up for this board at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/olinuxino/ This is one of two new Linux low cost boards, that will be produced by Olimex. First one has 64Mb of ram, second one will be the same CPU speed as RPi, and have 256Mb of ram. ====================== Question: Like the idea, some sort of raspberry pi. What kind of android version would be supported since it only contains 64mb ram ? incl. TV out ? Answer: OLIMEX Ltd says: March 7, 2012 at 10:05 pm sorry there are few projects in my mind ;) indeed 64MB memory is too low for Android, but there is another project with 256MB and different processor which is too early to announce now :) ====================== Cheers Don... =================== -- Don McKenzie Dontronics: http://www.dontronics-shop.com/ DuinoMite the PIC32 $35 Basic Computer-MicroController http://www.dontronics-shop.com/the-maximite-computer.html Just add a VGA monitor or TV, and PS2 Keyboard. Arduino Shield, Programmed in Basic, or C.
