UDOO


 * Notice: The UDOO Pi 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.



= 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).

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

GPIO features
UDOO's GPIO's can be used in different configurations, if set to SAM3X or IMX6: More informations about UDOO_GPIO_Pinout
 * 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.
