Summary of UDOO: Android Linux Arduino in a tiny single-board computer
UDOO is a compact, open-hardware mini PC integrating an ARM i.MX6 processor for Android/Linux and an Arduino DUE (ARM SAM3X) on a single board. Designed for education, DIY, and rapid prototyping, it supports physical computing, IoT, and interactive arts with low power consumption.
Parts used in the UDOO Project:
- ARM i.MX6 Freescale processor
- Arduino DUE's ARM SAM3X
- Single-board computer chassis
- Processing software environment
- OpenCV library
- PureData toolset
- openFramework library
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.
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
