The Mbit thing is quite common in the embedded world. When I saw this my first thought was "oh wow, twice the specs of my current favorite OpenWRT hack platform (the TL-703N) at about the same price and with gpio exposed. Awesome.)"
- samcrawford 12y agoHmmm I'd agree it's common when you're talking about components with hardware developers, but when you're pitching it to software developers/users then RAM/flash is almost uniformly referenced in megabytes. Take for example: - OpenWrt's table of hardware page: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start - Raspberry Pi specs: http://www.raspberrypi.org/product/model-b/ http://www.raspberrypi.org/product/model-b/ - Minnowboard Max specs: http://www.minnowboard.org/meet-minnowboard-max/ http://www.minnowboard.org/meet-minnowboard-max/ - Beaglebone Black specs: http://beagleboard.org/black http://beagleboard.org/black Oh and I love the reference to TL-WR703N, that little thing was pretty special! I was always disappointed by the MR3020, which is basically identical but a lot larger for no obvious reason.
- hardolaf 12y agoI never see Mbit in the embedded world when talking about RAM or Flash. I always see KB or MB, never Mbit.
- guelo 12y agoAgreed, bits should only be used for bandwidth.
