No HW designed because full ARM + display was always lower cost than just the display. Some 2016 notes:
* Androids (tablet / phone) very common. ** Max 40C ambient, usually. ** Used with VemsDisplay to display gauges (no full-blown VemsTune for tuning) * Orange PI-PC 1GByte, 4core, HDMI+PAL out (comparable price and performance with android tablets) ** max 50C ambient (70C specified, but very careful install would be needed above 60C) ** also better for large displays (HDMI 7..15..50 inch) ** also better for interfacing with wired or realtime systems (SPI, I2C, multiple serial, GPIO, IR, analog audio); 4 * real USB ports (unfortunately USB sucks mechanically; The B-type connector sucks less than the others, but only used in printers) ** also allows android, with the option of easier customization for full (non-android) OS ** fast boot (say, under 12 sec) ? Full screen splash screen (no scrolling text) ? RO (not writing to filesystem) ? Round-robin boot-entry (for self-healing after reboot if one of the images get corrupted) ? Opengl helps reasonable VemsTune logviewer performance ? How easy are these ? Gentoo or debian jessie is less work to start from ? *** debian is prolly easier to install, actually very easy; Fast-boot beyond a certain point is probably easier with gentoo ---- |
