topic Inputs wanted for Lowest Cost Linux Board Possible in i.MX Processors https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/Inputs-wanted-for-Lowest-Cost-Linux-Board-Possible/m-p/215066#M13502 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>We at RoboticsIndia(@baseapp) are working on a new project , like the title says the lowest cost breadboard friendly linux Core board ( Open Source ).<BR /> <BR /> The whole idea is to put the full BOM + Fab under &lt; USD 25 at say 100x quantity. <BR /> <BR /> Rasperry pi is great , but i cannot duplicate it or ship it inside my product to a client. BGA is not cheap. <BR /> <BR /> So the Ideas is to make a low cost mbed like board which can run linux and the user can put inside product or develop on a breadboard using it. <BR /> <BR /> For component selection we have selected the following for now <BR /> MCU : i.mx233 ( cheapest linux QFP ) : 6USD <BR /> RAM : 64MB DDR RAM : 8USD<BR /> USD PCB : 3 USD <BR /> MISC : 3 USD ( SD Connector + other misc stuff ) <BR /> Tot : 20 USD + MFG <BR /> <BR /> If anyone is interested we would welcome your inputs. Helping us cut costs or work with us making it see light of day.</P><P>I know there are many imx experts here , we would love you inputs and ideas.</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 25 Feb 2012 16:08:06 GMT Vikas_ng 2012-02-25T16:08:06Z Inputs wanted for Lowest Cost Linux Board Possible https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-Processors/Inputs-wanted-for-Lowest-Cost-Linux-Board-Possible/m-p/215066#M13502 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>We at RoboticsIndia(@baseapp) are working on a new project , like the title says the lowest cost breadboard friendly linux Core board ( Open Source ).<BR /> <BR /> The whole idea is to put the full BOM + Fab under &lt; USD 25 at say 100x quantity. <BR /> <BR /> Rasperry pi is great , but i cannot duplicate it or ship it inside my product to a client.
