Parallella from Adapteva Arrives at last

21 May 2014

After been warned by a customs fee payment I knew this was coming at last so I've been waiting quite excited for the last few days for my Parallella from Adapteva. This has literally just come through the door so I've not done anything with it as yet but I thought I'd post a few photos of a real in the wild board.

No instructions or anything so I was a bit miffed until I saw the URL on the front of the box!

It comes with a heatsink and they recommend a Fan ....looks like hotstuff!

Access to the main guts from underneath and what looks like the microSD Card as well.

after a year of waiting I may be more excited by the Zynq processor than the Parallella but lets see how it goes!

I suspect you'll be getting more use out of the Zynq than the Epiphany, but either way will be interested to see what you do with it.

There really needs to be some 'killer app' for the Epiphany, without one does it stand out at all in what's becoming an increasingly crowded market? Has the years wait been too long?

Agreed that year has been a long time in SBC land the Zynq has found it's self in some sweet comms and test equipment a lot of which is open hardware. So as I said I'm more excited about that at the moment .

O BTW they seem to have some demo code of implementing "R" functions in Open Cl so it sounds like they have done an OpenCl implementation at very least. Let's hope so since it opens up a load of pre done stuff for them. Mind you I also hope that their cores are more performant than say an Nvidia core otherwise they are basically selling you a G210 card for 99$ rather than £18 that I've just seen for it !
