Whitebox Handheld Software Radio Kit
- 2. But first, an update for the Makers Arduino – artists coding C for $25 SoC kits jump from GameBoy to DreamCast Prepare for the robotics revolution
- 3. Raspberry Pi Pros: * Cheap: $25 * Big Community * Darling of Maker Community Cons: * NDA Hardware * Drivers work in Progress * No Flash or Cables included
- 4. Beagle Bone Black Pros: * Pretty Cheap: $45 * Lots of IOs * Flash & cables included * Great Linux BSP from TI Cons: * More expensive than Rpi * Not as big of a Maker community
- 6. Smartphone Architecture Application SoC ARM Cortex-A Android FPU OpenGL ES WebKit Baseband SoC ARM Cortex-M Modem DSP RTOS Data Audio Video RF VGA Filters Mixers ??????? BPF AMP Ant WiFiCamera Flash Vibrator Codec Speaker 3x Mic Gyro Screen USB SD Card Digitizer
