= What's UDOO? =
UDOO is a mini PC that could run either Android or Linux, with an Arduino-compatible board embedded. It is a powerful prototyping board for software development and design, it’s easy to use and allows to create projects with minimum knowledge. UDOO merges different computing worlds in one; each world has its strengths and weaknesses, and all of them are useful today in education as well as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and rapid prototyping endeavours. UDOO is an open hardware, low-cost computer equipped with an ARM i.MX6 Freescale processor for Android and Linux, alongside  Arduino DUE’s ARM SAM3X, both CPU integrated on the same board!

UDOO is a single board computer that can be used both with Android and Linux, paired with an Arduino-compatible processor. It is a powerful prototyping board for software development and design; it’s easy to use and allows developing projects with minimum knowledge of hardware design. UDOO merges different computing worlds together: each one has its proper strengths and weak points, but all of them are useful in todays life for educational purposes as well as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and quick prototyping. UDOO is an open hardware, low-cost platform equipped with an ARM i.MX6 Freescale processor, and an Arduino Due compatible section based on ATMEL SAM3X8E ARM processor, all this available on the same board!

*FlexCAN (Flexible Controller Area Network) through pin headers, it is possible to switch this function’s management between i.MX6 processor and SAM3X8E processor;
* FlexCAN (Flexible Controller Area Network) through pin headers, you will be able to choose if you want to switch this function to the iMX6 or the SAM3X;
+
*External SD card support through pins header: plug an external controller for an additional SD card slot or for an eMMC module.
* Second SD card support through pins header: this means you can plug an external controller for a second SD card or an external controller for an eMMC module

* Download inside the “udoo-dev” folder the '''file system''' for UDOO Dual or Quad following this link http://www.udoo.org/downloads/
 
  
* Download inside the “udoo-dev” folder the compiled '''Kernel''' (uImage) for UDOO Dual or Quad from the binaries section of the website http://www.udoo.org/downloads/.
 
  
It’s also possible to download and compile the Kernel sources from the github repository https://github.com/UDOOboard/UDOO-DUAL. If you decide to compile the sources you also need to download (and extract) the cross-compiler from the sources section of the website http://www.udoo.org/downloads/
 
  
*  Download inside the “udoo-dev” folder the '''U-Boot''' file (u-boot.bin) from the binaries section http://www.udoo.org/downloads/
+
| style="width:33%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid #aaa; padding-left:5px;" |
  
After these steps in “udoo-dev” we’ll have 3 binaries: File System, U-Boot and Kernel (in case you downloaded the Kernel compiled binary), while we’ll have 2 binaries: File System and U-Boot plus 2 folders containing the Kernel sources (from the github link) and the cross-compiler.

sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev uboot-mkimage

* Unmount the partition you previously created using the following command:
 
umount /media/<UDOO_MICROSD_LABEL>
 
  
* The Micro SD card is ready, you can now plug it on UDOO and boot the system.

Revision as of 07:24, 13 January 2015

Notice: The UDOO Wiki pages on this site is collaborative work - the UDOO Team is not responsible for content on these pages.

This page collects information about UDOO the first ever small sized computer that merges in one single board an ARM cortex-A9 iMX.6 CPU and an Arduino Due compatible board embedded with a dedicated ARM SAM3X8E CPU. UDOO project has been funded through Kickstarter, raising $641,614 in sixty days thanks to 4,172 backers.


UDOO

What's UDOO?

UDOO is a single board computer that can be used both with Android and Linux, paired with an Arduino-compatible processor. It is a powerful prototyping board for software development and design; it’s easy to use and allows developing projects with minimum knowledge of hardware design. UDOO merges different computing worlds together: each one has its proper strengths and weak points, but all of them are useful in todays life for educational purposes as well as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) and quick prototyping. UDOO is an open hardware, low-cost platform equipped with an ARM i.MX6 Freescale processor, and an Arduino Due compatible section based on ATMEL SAM3X8E ARM processor, all this available on the same board!

UDOO goals:

  • Develop an innovative product for a growing market
  • Give a new vision to the educational framework, with the idea of training up a new generation of engineers, designers and software developers skilled in digital technology: physical computing, multi-media arts, interactive arts, IoT...
  • Give a boost to the DIY world
  • Offer a low cost embedded platform for interactive arts with powerful tools: Processing, OpenCV, PureData, openFramework
  • Provide companies with a great tool for fast prototyping

Specifications

UDOO retail line up consists of three models, sharing most of the features and different only for connectivity and i.MX6 processor used. All three models feature an embedded Arduino compatible section based on Arduino Due schematic. UDOO’s dimensions are: 4.33 inch x 3.35 inch (11 cm x 8.5 cm).
