Here's a good looking Prototyping Board. It's on Kickstarter. So they are asking for Funding, to make this one. They say "UDOO is a powerful prototyping board for software development and design, it's easy to use and with a few steps you can start using it and creating your projects with minimum knowledge. 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!" Watch the Video, to find out all about it...

UDOO takes your DIY projects to the next level and it's a powerful tool for education and creativity.

What's UDOO?

UDOO is a mini PC that could run either Android or Linux, with an Arduino-compatible board embedded.

UDOO is a powerful prototyping board for software development and design, it's easy to use and with a few steps you can start using it and creating your 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's size is 4.33 inch x 3.35 inch (11 cm x 8.5 cm) and it has low power consumption.

The power of 4 Raspberry PI + Arduino DUE functionality = UDOO

UDOO goals:

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