The RIoTboardRIoTboard open source development platform is a low-cost, fully-featured, single-board computer developed to address the needs of demanding applications requiring high levels of processing power on an open source platform. The RIoTboard is first and foremost an open-source board with detailed schematics available for download for use in your design. Additionally, the RIoTboard community also provides an Android OS distribution for applications requiring tablet and mobile experiences. A distribution of Linux can also be downloaded.
The RIoTboard is a fully-featured development platform with just the right peripherals, expandability and processor power to run your open source project. The board features the Freescale i.MX 6Solo applications processor, using an ARM® Cortex®-A9 architecture. The 1 GHz processor allows for OpenGL® ES 2.0 3D graphics accelerator with shader and a 2D graphics accelerator. The device also provides the capability to drive HDMI 1080p video processing and flexible video inputs such as LVDS and CMOS camera options. Freescale’s Kinetis MCU (K20) MCU also is integrated for debug and available for added programming and functionality.

Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test this particular product.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the product.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
Board received this evening. In reading up on the board's specs, this might just kick the pedestal out from under the Raspberry Pi. I especially like the ability to boot from multiple devices. I already have a number of ideas (other than my proposed project) that I want to try, once the review is turned in.
Many thanks to all who applied for this RoadTest - we've had so many good applications that we've expanded the number of testers from 5 to 8. The 8 selected are:

I would imagine that if there is an export ban then it would not matter how you buy it, it is still banned from Export as it is based on the technology, not the price
E14 would of course be better equipped…
I have not gotten the board to test out?
