Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommendations for advanced single board computers (SBCs) that support Android and Linux operating systems, specifically those utilizing Freescale System on Chips (SoCs). Participants share their experiences and insights regarding various SBC options and customization possibilities.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about SBCs that support both Android and Linux based on Freescale SoCs.
  • Another participant suggests specific products, including links to Freescale's FRDM-KL25Z and a board running Linux on a Freescale Vybrid processor.
  • Multiple participants mention Toradex customized SBCs, describing them as off-the-shelf embedded platforms that consist of a Computer on Module (COM) and a carrier board, allowing for scalability and customization.
  • There are questions regarding the support for Android on the suggested boards, indicating a need for clarification on compatibility.
  • Participants discuss the ARM architecture of the suggested SBCs and the flexibility in choosing different modules and carrier boards to meet specific needs.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying opinions on specific SBC recommendations and customization options, with no clear consensus on the best choice or the extent of Android support across the suggested boards.

Contextual Notes

Some participants seek further details on the customization process for Toradex SBCs, indicating that there may be assumptions about familiarity with the technology that are not universally shared.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in selecting SBCs for projects that require specific operating system support, particularly those involving Freescale SoCs and customization options.

There are few single board computers which support Android as well as Linux OS, Toradex customized single board computer are off-the-shelf embedded platform that consists of a Computer on Module (COM) and a carrier board. The platform can be scaled up to accommodate future requirements by switching to another pin-compatible COM based on latest processors. You can choose any COM and a compatible carrier board, to create a customized SBC that is tuned to your needs. These platforms can be used for both engineering development and mass-production.

Hi Matthewtx,

Is this ARM powered single board computers?
 
Yes Martin, They are ARM based Single Board Computers with various price, I/Os, processors, size and operating systems. You can choose any System on Module/Computer on Module and a compatible carrier board, to create a Singe Board Computer that is tuned to your needs.
