Traditionally they have been behind on development boards like this but things have been improving. Unless you must have lowest power I'm thinking that you are in many ways better off:
64-bits? No problem.
Performance? Intel has a matching Atom for every Arm.
Compatibility? Run desktop Ubuntu.. heck, run Windows
Drivers? They are all open source and work.
There are a bunch of extremely cheap Z3735F based systems available also, for example: http://www.geekbuying.com/Search/?keyword=windows+mini+pc http://www.geekbuying.com/Search/?keyword=windows+mini+pc ("pc stick" and "mini pc").
(I do like ARM, but at the Cortex-M0 level as a PIC replacement).
- tbr 11y agoMinnowboard Max has the same unobtainium problem like the HiKey. That said, it's about to change. Luckily also there a second manufacturer stepped in and the 'Turbot' version was recently announced. Same as the LeMaker version of Hikey, should have less of the usual Circuitco Unobtainium problems.
