Samsung Cortex-15 Dev Board
- jws 14y ago$250, plus you'll need a power adapter. Mali GPU, so that is closed, but has a reverse engineered open source driver.
- justincormack 14y agoIts the same price as a Chromebook, although it does have more ports, ethernet, serial and jtag useful, but pretty similar hardware spec I would guess. I can't see any power consumption figures which is annoying.
- gregsq 14y agoI do believe that it's closest siblings are Chromebook and Nexus 10. Graphics benchmarks are slightly under the Nexus 10 but that could be due to a number of things. [1] For me the main interest are the schematics and fudging a quad core when it arrives. As well as having all the peripherals available for development choices.

- stcredzero 14y agoCombine this board with a 256GB SSD and WiFi, and you have a prototype for a puck sized PC. Add some apps, to allow you to use a laptop or a netbook as an input device, and there might be a compelling product developed on here.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoSigh, its a cool board, at $100 it would be game changing, at $250 its just another evaluation kit. The continued lack of docs on the ARM GPU is extremely annoying.
- meaty 14y agoIndeed. Not like the VIDC that they used to ship before they were spun off from Acorn. I wish someone would solve this problem with an open source graphics core that is ARM bus compatible.
- gregsq 14y agoIt is a lot harder to work with these phone and tablet type chips. ARM have open sourced the Mali driver code but you still need the DDK, which requires a license. The reverse engineering efforts on GPU command streams are also a labour of love from Lima etc. And it would be twice as good if it cost half as much.
