Overview

The A10S-OLinuXino-MICROA10S-OLinuXino-MICRO is an open source embedded ARM Linux Single Board Computer based on Allwinners' new ARM Cortex-A8 A10S 1GHz processor with Ethernet and HDMI support. The A10S-OLinuXino-MICRO enables the code development of applications running on the A10s microcontroller from Allwinner Technology from China. It's having an advantage of running on high speed 1 GHz processor, the small form factor and the low price-to productivity ratio. The board offers 512 MB of RAM, 100MBit Ethernet, USB Host, USB-OTG, SD/MMC card and HDMI interface.

OLinuXino family is an open-source hardware project, powerfull and easy to setup. It is possible to use them in almost any application as a host board. They are suitable for embedded programming enthusiasts, Linux and Android gadget fans (they can just use the board as a media center or fully functional Linux-PC for instance) and also professionals (since its low cost makes it very good solution for application-orientated embedded systems). The main usage of the board is software embedded development without the urge of understanding perfectly the hardware.

There are two major board variants, according to the names: A10S-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB and A10S-OLinuXino-MICRO. The 4GB version has a built-in NAND memory suitable for the storage of an operating system without the need of a SD card. The 4GB version comes with already programmed Android 4.2.2 image.
