New kid on the block the pcDuino ...

jamodio

Yet another ARM Cortex board ... The pcDuino com ... getting one to see how compares with the Rpi ...

 

Atr least I didn't have to wake up in wee hours like a year ago to get one.

 

Cheers

  • The MarsBoard looks interesting: Allwinner A10, 1GB DDR, 4GB NAND Flash, SD card, 10/100 Ethernet, Micro HDMI, SATA, 2 USB host, 1 USB OTG, 140 expansion pins on 2mm connectors.

     

    US$50 including worldwide shipping, according to the web site.  I'll be interested in hearing whether it's reliable and seeing whether a community grows up around it.

     

    I'm glad to see another board with 2mm connectors -- encourages production of cheap jumper wires.

    Seemingly the marsboard and cubieboard are logically very close - no idea if they're physically identical enough with regards to expansion header pinouts.

     

    But back to Morgaines question, can I get one delivered tomorrow ?  No.

    Their 'free shipping' is 10-30 days to the UK, possibly faster for between $24.09 and $41.85 depending on which of the five options you pick and 2-4 days being the best. Ok, we don't quite double the cost of the board to get it here, but close.

     

    $45 BBB vs $49 marsboard ?  close enough that I'd not care. but I can get a BBB delivered tomorrow for $45 because they're available locally. Marsboard at $90 and a week to get here is a different decision altogether
