Lessons learned about the A13 OLinuXino with A13-LCD7-TS | Skaag's Virtual Diary
I was initially trying to purchase a Raspberry Pi, but supplies being
non-existent I was forced to look for alternatives, and I’m very glad I
did because the end result is that I have a more powerful platform to
work with. It’s faster, has 3 USB ports with tons of gpio pins, has an
on-board nand chip, wifi adapter, sd card reader, audio in/out, and the
pretty useful UEXT connector. It runs very cool, and since there are no
moving parts or fans it is naturally silent.
In addition to this specific product being quite amazing, feature
wise, Olimex has a very talented team of engineers who crank out new
boards and designs at a pace rarely seen. They are already working on an
A10 board, which packs even more impressive hardware and features. Once
in a while they even find the time to write a new guide or how-to, and
post it on their blog.
Apart from the Olimex engineers who are obviously dedicated to their
cause, there’s a good number of individuals working on the “ARM Netbook”
project. The Olimex and ARM engineers, as well as the community of
users, all hang out on the Freenode IRC Network, on channels #olimex and #arm-netbook
(If you have an IRC client you can click those links to directly join
the rooms). I strongly urge you to join those chat rooms if you have
questions, or if you feel you can help others with your skills and
knowledge.
