*A:M User* Roger Posted January 8, 2014 *A:M User* Share Posted January 8, 2014 Well, SD card. But still: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/do-...elf/edison.html Not sure what this costs retail or if it is even available yet, but if it is in the range of $10-$20 or so you could find all sorts of interesting things to do with this. I wonder if you could run AM on it. Not sure how you would hook it up to any peripherals, you'd probably have to make some sort of dock for it.

*A:M User* Roger Posted January 8, 2014 Author *A:M User* Share Posted January 8, 2014 This might actually have a better chance of running AM, it is the same chip but on top of an Arduino board with some RAM and other bits you would need: http://arduino.cc/en/ArduinoCertified/IntelGalileo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 8, 2014 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 8, 2014 I don't know anything about a quark processor or if it's X86 compatible code-wise. I think you'd have to run a 1998 version of A:M on it with power like that. I'm sure hobbyists who need some sort of tiny low power CPU will love it. The big problem with using it for A:M is that A:M needs a substantial display area to be useful and there's no way to miniaturize that.

The big problem with using it for A:M is that A:M needs a substantial display area to be useful and there's no way to miniaturize that. Supposedly it is completely x86 compatible, just in an embedded cpu type form factor. The Arduino shield thingy I posted might work better since it has the same CPU with a decent amount of memory and proper I/O. Not sure how you would output video unless you did it over the USB or mini PCIe somehow. Doesn't seem to have any other video out options unless I missed them in the schematics.
