Looks like the chip has SD card support. I wonder if there's any plans for debian like the pi? I know it's overkill but that lets us linux noobs break the barrier of entry.
- not_your_vase 3y agoIt's not that it's overkill, but with 64 MB of RAM it was never really meant to run a generic purpose desktop distribution. Even without desktop they need much more RAM. This was meant for barebone, goal-specific Linux distros, running only what's really indispensable.

- squarefoot 3y agoThe chip capabilities (64MB RAM, 16MB flash) are barely enough to run some stripped down Linux version like the one supplied with the GitHub link at the bottom of the article, and possibly OpenWRT.
