Cubieboard better than Raspberry Pi (ARM Porteus needed)
Posted: 25 Feb 2013, 18:49
Hi,
as I am looking for a board allowing to use some GPIO projects (home automation, ...) I discovered that Cubieboard has better specifications thant the Raspberry Pi (1 Gb of RAM, possible to connect an external SATA HardDrive, ...) :
http://cubieboard.org/
Here are described the specifications and some videos to see :
https://www.miniand.com/products/Cubieb ... er%20Board
It cost 49 USD (only for the board) or 65 USD with cables and a simple case (http://cubieboard.org/2012/09/10/a-simple-case/).
Even if it has been develop for Raspberry Pi we could also install any linux distribution on this Cubieboard by using the berryboot multiboot program :
http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot
For this reason could somebody develop an ARM version to add (http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/b ... o_the_menu) on this berryboot (test it on your Raspberry Pi) and tell us if it works great. Then we could buy some of those Cubieboard (sometimes difficult to buy due to its success).
I have many project need then when we know what we can do with the GPIO on a Raspberry Pi, I am sure we could appreciate it more with the Cubieboard :

Then with pleasure to read that Porteus has a ARM .img available to be added to the berryboot...
Have a nice day,
Miguipda ;-)
