It uses the Linutop Linux OS which is pretty decent. Not bad at all for only $300. I can’t wait till I have the money to spend on cool stuff like this. Then I can write about it while trying it out…
[UPDATE]
Forgot to add a piece about the BeagleBoard. It’s a pretty cool piece of technology that is essentially a fully functioning computer. All you need is a monitor, USB hub (for USB devices), and power. You can install Linux to flash memory on the board and be all set to go.
So what do you get for $149? A bunch:
- 600 MHz superscalar ARM Cortex A8 processor
- HD Video (720p) capable C64x DSP core
- 128MB Ram
- 256MB Flash
- I2C, I2S, SPI, MMC/SD (via expansion connector)
- DVI-D
- JTAG
- S-Video
- SD/MMC+
- Stereo Out
- Stereo In
- USB 2.0 HS OTG
- RS-232 Serial
Found via DOF in an email…
Welcome to my blog! Topics tend to focus on Science and Technology, but I throw in personal stuff too. I hope you enjoy!
