If you are interested in the Pi also check out the BeagleBone. I love how easy everything with the Pi was. I'm hoping to do more home automation with either another Pi or a BeagleBone. As for now my Pi is controlling our detached garage, and has done a nice job surviving a Louisiana summer.

- nwh 13y agoIf you are interested in the BeagleBone also check out the Cubieboard. It's a more powerful Pi, essentially. Dual core, 1GB of RAM, SATA. http://cubieboard.org/ http://cubieboard.org/
- jboynyc 13y agoAnother nice option is the Hackberry. https://www.miniand.com/products/Hackberry%20A10%20Developer%20Board https://www.miniand.com/products/Hackberry%20A10%20Developer...
- nwh 13y agoThe Cubie eeks out the Hackberry in the latest revision, if you're interested in CPU power. Allwinner A20 rather than A10.
- bri3d 13y agoAll of the Allwinner boards have mostly-closed Mali GPUs and closed but partially reverse-engineered CedarX VPUs. Outside of Android the Mali GPUs are a bit of a bear to get working at all, much less use for anything useful. For headless tasks I agree that Cubie/Hackberry are faster dollar-for-dollar than the Pi, but the Pi's VideoCore GPU, while still blob-encumbered, at least provides a documented interface with working drivers for both the "traditional" X11 stack and Android, as well as a real OpenMAX video decoding interface.
