I think that this is awesome. I see this as a very affordable board in between Arduino and RaspberryPi. Also, competition is always good.

- misnome 11y agoCompetition is good, but does it need to have the same name?
- olympus 11y agoWith the popularity of the RasPi, everyone is using the name. This product has specifically called out a pin-compatible header with the RasPi, so I think putting Pi in the name is okay. They are drawing attention to the fact that it can use many of the same accessories, not necessarily just riding the coattails of a recognizable name.
- buserror 11y agoThere ARE tons of boards between arduidiot and raspberry pi, just the range of STM32 based 'discovery' board is awesome, and in fact makes you wonder why people don't use them more. There are also a lot of 'intermediate' boards like the Olinuxino boards (the ones with the freescale imx233) that are almost on spec with this, but /completely/ open hardware + software. I'm personally very fond of this one, that can slot happily on a breadboard. https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/iMX233/iMX233-OLinuXino-NANO/open-source-hardware https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/iMX233/iMX233-OLin... Oh and I made a full Qemu port for the imx233, on my github: https://github.com/buserror/qemu-buserror https://github.com/buserror/qemu-buserror
