Note that everyone's missed - it has HDMI out. This is looking more at smart devices that display information and which you can interact with directly, rather than devices which you configure occasionally and which are hidden otherwise.
Additionally, this is likely a DIY/hobbyist board and a reference device - any major company doing their own thing will likely be building their own devices. Mozilla isn't in the B2B business.
- makomk 11y agoWhich is useful for early prototyping I guess, but does it have any way of interfacing to non-HDMI screens? You wouldn't want to use HDMI for a product, and even for DIY hobbyist stuff it's probably not ideal; small HDMI screens with touch are exotic, expensive, and not all that small.
- e12e 11y agoIs there any reason they'll remain exotic, expensive and not that small? (I don't know what interface the typical high-dpi oled touch screens use, like the ones you find on a Galaxy Note 4 etc) -- but it seems that HDMI might make perfect sense for a tiny 4k screen (and it seems reasonable those will become more and more common)?
- makomk 11y agoDevices don't use HDMI to talk to their built-in screens due to licensing fees, complexity, etc. Usually it's either LVDS or embedded DisplayPort these days, with newer/4K screens being more likely to use DisplayPort and older ones generally using LVDS.
