A new computer called the "HummingBoard" takes on the same basic shape as the Raspberry Pi but uses a more powerful processor and supports more operating systems.
SolidRun, which also makes the CuBox-i computer we wrote about, just started selling the HummingBoard in several configurations ranging from $45 to $100, not including the price of a power adapter and Micro SD card.
"The HummingBoard allows you to run many open source operating systems—such as Ubuntu, Debian, and Arch—as well as Android and XBMC," SolidRun says. "With its core technology based on SolidRun's state-of-the-art Micro System on a Module (MicroSOM), it has ready-to-use OS images, and its open hardware comes with full schematics and layout. Best of all, as a Linux single board computer, the HummingBoard is backed by the global digital maker community, which means you can alter the product in any way you like and get full kernel upstreaming support and all the assistance you need."
