Roel's Praathoek - ARM Experiments

Boards with an ARM SoC

 

my ARM systems or bords

I am experimenting with ARM boards now. My intention is to write about that, just to document what I did.

I have several Raspberry Pi's and soon also a Novena Desktop, build around the ARM iMX6 SoC and also had an FGPA. I also have a wandboard that contains the same iMX6 SoC

• Raspberry Pi

  Educational, low-cost ARM experimenters board with a great community

• Novena

  Novena open hardware, Board, Laptop, Desktop

• Wandboard

  Open, low-cost developer board using a Freescale i.MX6 SoC, but the community around it is a bit silent now.

• Nginx

  Build a blog engine with Nginx (work in progress, not ready yet)
