Again I’m confused, how are they putting so much capability into a $35 dollar device? I just don’t get it. The PCB alone should cost more than that.
Though it is true there is no direct LCD interface. However there are plenty of ways to get around that. I have a 5" capacitive touch on the B+ using SPI.
Take a gander at these links and I think you will be happy to see the results.
It all started when i was playing with my Arietta G25 board when later they posted this page for it. (check out the video on this page)
I figured if that puppy @ 400mhz can do that, then the PI would have no problem as well.
So i headed over to here: Home · notro/fbtft Wiki · GitHub
and tried it with my 5" LCD. Works like a charm.
“Windows 8.1 with Bing” is free for devices with a screen smaller than 8".
Shouldn’t this be true for such a device as well (as long as you don’t connect your 55" Full HD TV :whistle:
I will absolutely buy one of these. I have a Pi right now serving as a domain controller (and I have another one scheduled to go in as a backup DC), but it just wasn’t powerful enough to satisfactorily run my TV server, so I had to go with a VIA MiniITX setup. The ODROID-C1 definitely will be, and I will be happy to leave even more fans in the dust!
The German shop has it on stock now: 44€
But the eMMC modules range from 40€ (16GByte) to 80€ (64GByte).
But no preinstalled for C1 in German shop so far.
The high eMMC price and no preinstalled one holds me currently back from buying it.
