Intel-Based MinnowBoard MAX

['Cuda340]

​

Today at EE Live, MinnowBoard.org released MinnowBoard MAX, a new low-cost embedded development platform for Linux and Android based on Intel® Architecture (IA). MinnowBoard MAX is smaller in size than its predecessor, but is big on compute power and customization. It uses open hardware, open source software and an embedded development platform manufactured by CircuitCo Electronics. MinnowBoard MAX is designed for use with the Intel® Atom™ processor with Linux graphics, codenamed BayTrail, and designed for development with the Yocto Project, Linux and Android. MinnowBoard MAX is a versatile, entry-level development option for IA embedded and product developers who need to reduce design and development costs by making modifications to the open hardware and software.

Considering the prices of some of the more expensive ARM-based competition in this form factor (i.e. Cubietruck) that is a lot of power and features for $129. Even compared to the previous Minnowboard this thing looks like a serious contender in the SBC market. Very exciting, Chipzilla strikes again!
