We got the first 10 iMX233-OLinuXino prototypes assembled, our Easter Holidays add some delay, also the plastic box selection mess up with the previously planned release date, but anyway now everything is complete and we have the MAXI version prototypes ready to boot Linux.
Once we verify everything is OK as hardware we will proceed to the first lot of production board assembly in 1-2 weeks. So early in May we may have the first production boards assembled.
It looks great!
I agree with you, it’s great!
VGA? DVI? HDMI? Will there be?
iMX233 have build in TV encoder PAL/NTSC VGA resolution 640×480 10 bit video DAC
What sort of OS ? perl ? how do you address the HW pins ? Screen / KB ?
Linux Andrew, but I believe the distribution will require these drivers written.
Cheers Don…
it’s Linux 2.6.xx kernel as beginning, hopefully this project will drive iMX community to implement support for the latest kernel later when gain mass
What does “MAXI” version prototype mean?
there are two versions MAXI and MINI, the MAXI version have 2 HS USB hosts and 100MB Ethernet, the MINI version have just one HS USB host
