It comes preloaded with a variety of applications, tools, and games, and supports connection with various screens and Bluetooth devices. This versatile device allows for coding education, project development, and offers a user-friendly experience while being easily modifiable for community needs.
First Nine Dollar Computer
- 1. The World’s First Nine Dollar Computer CHIP
- 4. INTRODUCTION C.H.I.P. is a computer. It’s tiny and easy to use.
- 6. C.H.I.P. does computer things. Work in Libre Office and save your documents to C.H.I.P.’s onboard storage. Surf the web and check your email over Wi-Fi. Play games with a Bluetooth controller. With dozens of applications and tools preinstalled, C.H.I.P. is ready to do computer things the moment you power it on.
- 7. C.H.I.P. is a computer for students, teachers, grandparents, children, artists, makers, hackers, and inventors. Everyone really. C.H.I.P. is a great way to add a computer to your life and the perfect way to power your computer based projects.
- 8. C.H.I.P WORKS WITH ANY SCREEN
- 9. C.H.I.P. is designed to work with any screen. Old or new. Big or small. Connect via C.H.I.P.’s built-in composite output or add a simple adapter for either VGA or HDMI.
- 10. Use C.H.I.P. with Libre Office to edit spreadsheets, create word documents, or craft presentations. It's all there. C.H.I.P DOES SERIOUS WORK
- 11. Use the Chromium browser to surf the web. Check out websites, send emails, watch videos, and more. The internet awaits. C.H.I.P SURFS
- 12. C.H.I.P TEACHES YOU TO CODE C.H.I.P. comes pre-loaded with Scratch - an easy to learn language that teaches the basics of programing by making stories, games, and animations
- 13. C.H.I.P PLAYS LOTS OF GAMES Connect Bluetooth controllers to C.H.I.P. and play thousands of games both retro and new. Been missing that amazing DOS game from your childhood? C.H.I.P. plays it!
- 14. C.H.I.P..ROCKS…HARD Connect a MIDI keyboard to C.H.I.P. and jam. Use it as a portable music player or as part of your favorite setup. Attach powered speakers and hear your tunes at full volume. Rock on!
- 15. C.H.I.P IS FAMILIAR C.H.I.P.'s open source operating system is easy to use and navigate. Its graphical display is just like what you're used to!
- 16. C.H.I.P HAS TONS OF APPS C.H.I.P. comes preinstalled with dozens of useful applications, tools and amazing games. Beyond those, C.H.I.P. can run THOUSANDS of free applications from the open source community
- 17. CHIP IS PORTABLE PocketC.H.I. makes C.H.I.P. portable! PocketC.H.I.P. gives C.H.I.P. a 4.3” touchscreen, QWERTY keyboard, and 5-hour battery - in a case small enough to fit in your back pocket
- 18. SPCIFICATIONS 3,000 mAH battery 4.3" 470px x 272px screen w/ resistive touch Full Super-Clicky QWERTY keyboard Rugged Injection Molded Shell Fully open source GPIO breakouts C.H.I.P. is removable via hatch
- 19. C.H.I.P IS FOR PROJETS At 1Ghz and with 512MB of DDR3 RAM, C.H.I.P. is powerful enough to run realsoftware, and handle the demands of a full GUI just as well as it handles attached hardware. Best of all, CHIP runs mainline Linux, which means it’s easier than ever to keep teaching it new tricks without inheriting a pile of kernel patches
- 20. Speaking of power, C.H.I.P. includes a fully integrated battery power circuit so that you can take your project outside right away. No external power circuit needed, just attach a 3.7v LiPo battery to C.H.I.P. and you’re ready to go mobile.

- 22. Most important, though, is that C.H.I.P. is built to be flexible. Whether you’re building yourself a wall clock that counts down time to the next bus at your stop, or setting up a network of hundreds of solar- powered air quality sensors for use in disaster relief, you need the same basic tools to start from: a processor, a way to exchange data, and a way to power everything. With C.H.I.P., all the groundwork is laid, and the only question is what you’ll do next
- 23. C.H.I.P IS OPEN SOURCE We built C.H.I.P. to make tiny powerful computers more accessible and easier to use. A huge part of making C.H.I.P. accessible is making sure that it can change to meet the needs of the community. That's why both C.H.I.P. and PocketC.H.I.P. are bothTOTALLY OPEN SOURCE. This means all hardware design files schematic, PCB layout and bill of materials are free for you the community to download, modify and use. Can’t wait to get started developing on C.H.I.P.? Join our team! By backing at the Kernel Hacker level, you’ll get one of the first 1000 pre-release "Alpha" C.H.I.P. prototypes, hot off the reflow line *THIS SEPTEMBER* PLUS you’ll be first in line for five C.H.I.P.s and one PocketC.H.I.P. as soon as they are ready. This is a special backer level meant only for hardcore linux devs who want to make meaningful contributions toward helping us build C.H.I.P.’s kernel software. If that sounds like the kind of challenge you’d like to sink your teeth into, back at the Kernel Hacker level, and join us on the march towards open source glory! ╭( ･ㅂ･)و
- 24. We've worked very closely with the amazing team at Allwinner Technology to insure that all the necessary documentation and source code for the System on Chip and Power Management Chips used in C.H.I.P. will be available for the community to use and learn from.
