UDOO

This page collects information about UDOO www.udoo.org the first ever small sized computer that merges in one single board an ARM cortex-A9 iMX.6 CPU and an Arduino compatible board embedded with a dedicated ARM SAM3X CPU. UDOO project has been funded through Kickstarter, raising $641,614 in sixty days thanks to 4,172 backers.

= What's UDOO? = UDOO is a mini PC that can be used both with Android and Linux OS, with an embedded Arduino-compatible board. 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. UDOO merges different computing worlds together: each one has its proper strenght- and weak- points, but all of them are useful in today's 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 SAM3X 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 featuresand 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 size are 4.33 inch x 3.35 inch (11 cm x 8.5 cm).

'''Warning: The UDOO I/O pins are 3.3V compliant. Higher voltages (like 5V) would damage the board.'''

GPIO features
The retail version of UDOO, compared to the first beta version releases has these additional features:
 * S/PDIF digital audio in & out through pin headers;
 * I2S/AC97/SSI digital audio multiplexer through pin headers;
 * FlexCAN (Flexible Controller Area Network) through pin headers, it is possible to switch this function’s management between i.MX6 processor and SAM3X8E processor;
 * External SD card support through pins header: plug an external controller for an additional SD card slot or for an eMMC module.
