Can you give us some kind of clue what 96board is about?

It's a standardization for Arm boards in the future just like Intel
standardizes X86 boards. The cost will go down because of
standardization.


The first board to be available from Arrow is Qualcomm DragonBoard 410c.
Arrow is selling the board for $75 plus power supply.

Charbax has several videos on the project. That is how I found out about
the project.

Here's the most recent video....

Qualcom is trying to expand use of Snapdragon 410 chip
which is used on board.

The number 96 is derived from 32 + 64 = 96

since the board can run both 32bit and 64bit software

A credit card sized computer. Bluetooth and wifi is on board and 8 gig
​Memory/Storage soldered on board so a memory card isn't needed
to boot up. Android is default operating system when it
ships to customer.

1GB LPDDR3 533MHz
8 GB eMMC 4.51

Cool.

So who can create a puppy K9?

Years ago someone was creating a k9 (Dr Who) robot. With this kit we might finally see it go walkies?

Anyone bought one? Ubuntu runs on it. Puppy Arm64 should?

Seems to have a whole lot more oomph [technical term] than the Raspberry PI 2?
