The sandwich PICO-IMX6UL-KIT board is a rebranding of last year’s HobbitBoard extended to 512MB RAM. Instead of supporting Brillo OS from Google, it comes with a preloaded version of Brillo from Google called Android Things. The PICO-IMX6UL-KIT is a de facto reference platform for IoT-oriented OS, which also supports Raspberry Pi 3 and Intel Edison. Like the HobbitBoard and almost identical to the NXP I.MX6UL Development Platform, the PICO-IMX6UL-KIT is based on TechNexion's PICO-IMX6UL COM (which is sold as NXP Pico from NXP). Although it is a commercial product, the PICO-IMX6UL-KIT (COM and carrier) boards come with full circuits and an open license. In addition to RAM and OS, the PICO-IMX6UL-KIT is identical with HobbitBoard, and is equipped with a low-power i.MX6 UltraLite (UL), as well as WiFi, BT 4.0, 10/100 Ethernet, two USB ports, an audio jack, and PMIC. The COM board can be removed and installed in the 70-pin Hirose connector on the carrier board of Intel Edison. Board size PICO-IMX6UL-KIT 100 x 45mm. The card also has a MikroBus socket for Click extensions, as well as four Wandboard-compatible expansion slots. The set costs $ 90, but you can find it for $ 65 in ARMkits.

Memory - 512MB SDRAM

Price - $ 5 and up

With a price of $ 5 to $ 25, depending on the availability of cables and adapters (we indicated the price of $ 14 in the comparison table) - Raspberry Pi Zero for $ 5 is a very good purchase for “hacker” IoT projects with limited dimensions. The tiny 65 x 30mm Zero board has the same ARM11 processor as the Raspberry Pi A + and B +, but with a 1GHz frequency. A COM single board comes with a microSD slot, a pair of micro USB ports, and a mini HDMI port with audio support, and with a non-soldered composite video connector. There are no USB ports, no DSI and CSI ports, no audio, which are on Pi 2 and 3 cards.

Memory - 1GB SDRAM

Price - $ 35

Last October, the Raspberry Pi 2 was redesigned into a v1.2 model, replacing the four-core A7 BCM2836 with a quad core, Cortex-A53 BCM2837, used in the Raspberry Pi 3. However, the SoC still has a clock frequency of 900MHz instead of 1.2GHz , and the board does not have WiFi and Bluetooth modules, like the RPi 3. The rest of the RPi 2 is almost identical to the faster, equipped with wireless interfaces RPi 3, but it is not cheaper.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

LinuxGizmos Review

Product page

CPU - Broadcom BCM2837 (4x Cortex-53 @ 1.2GHz); Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU @ 400MHz

Memory - 1GB SDRAM

Price - $ 35

The world's most popular “hacker” Linux monolater, and the winner of our 2016 survey, it can still be found at the official price of $ 35 in outlets such as Circuit Specialists. The Raspberry Pi 3 gives you everything the same as the RPi 2 v1.2 for the same price, but with a higher clock speed and with WiFi and Bluetooth modules. Some other boards have the same RPI-compatible connector, can beat it in price, speed and features, and many are more open-source than RPi 3, which, like its relatives, does not have open access to full schemes and open-source license. but if you want guaranteed compatibility with Raspberry Pi (and dependence on it), and to be a member of a thriving community, this is still your choice. Recently, the Raspberry Pi Foundation doubled its educational potential by merging with CoderDojo, a non-profit organization that teaches coding for children from 7 to 17 years old. Practically, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has become a corporate member of the CoderDojo Foundation, but has retained its name and association with the commercial organization Raspberry Pi Trading.

The old but still released Wandboard now has a direct competitor in the face of the SavageBoard based on the i.MX6 processor. The board size is 125 x 95mm, larger than the Wandboard, and there is no 2GB RAM, like the Wandboard Quad, but it is $ 20 cheaper. Unlike the Wandboard, SavageBoard has a wired eMMC, although not the second microSD slot, like the Wandboard. Among other differences, SavageBoard has a WiFi / Bluetooth module connected via SDIO / UART as an option for $ 35, while wireless interfaces are standard on DualLite and Quad WandBoards. SavageBoard does not have a mini-PCIe slot available to users, like the Wandboard, like the S / PDIF audio interface, although it does have MIPI-DSI in addition to HDMI and MIPI-CSI ports. Other features are similar, including a GbE port, two USB 2.0 ports, a micro-USB OTG port, as well as COM ports and audio. BSP is available for Android 6.0, Yocto Project, and Arch Linux. Poslab also posted on its site open source HobbitBoard. I write that it is available, but there is neither a price nor a store page. The HobbitBoard board is not the former Brillo-on-i.MX6 UltraLite from Wandboard.org with the same name, but now rebranded in PICO-IMX6UL-KIT under Android Things (see above). HobbitBoard is based on SavageBoard, but with a different set of features.

Price - Basic $ 125; Advanced $ 149; Advanced Plus $ 165; Ultra $ 259)

Delayed, which raised money for Kickstarter, the Udoo X86 SBC was finally sent to backers in March and is now publicly available. All versions, except Ultra for $ 259, have a quad-core Atom X5-E8000 and pass under our limit of $ 200. This is the most open source board from the new wave of “hacker” boards on x86, but not from Intel / AMD. Since our first review, the Ucooo project from Seco has added an “Ultra” version on the Pentium N3710 with 8GB RAM and 32GB eMMC. The N3710 processor is from the same Intel Braswell 14nm family as the “advanced” Celeron and the “basic” Atom. The range of SoC consumption is from 5-6W TDP, which is very small in the x86 world. The Udoo X86 also includes an Intel Curie chip with Quark MCU. The 120 x 85mm feature list of this device is too large to fully bring it here, but the main ones include M.2, SATA III, HDMI, 2x DP, wireless interfaces, GPIO.
