Miniand is selling a new developer board called the Hackberry A10. It features an Allwinner A10 processor for about $60. It’s basically a little computer with a CPU, memory, and storage built in. It also has a range of input and output options.
It’s a lot like a $35 Raspberry Pi, except the HackBerry A10 costs $60 and up, has more memory, built-in-storage, a faster processor, and WiFi.
The Allwinner A10 processor is a single core ARM Cortex-A8 chip with Mali 400 graphics. It’s not as fast as an NVIDIA Tegra 3 or Samsung Exynos 4412 chip, but it’s a lot cheaper, and it can still handle HD video and a range of basic tasks.
the Hackberry A10 will ship with Android 4.0, but Miniand plans to offer Linux images for the device. These are the same folks who brought us some of the first Linux images for the MK802, so they have a pretty good track record with this sort of thing.
A Hackberry A10 Developer Board with 512MB of RAM is available for $60. A 1GB model should be available soon for $65.
Both models include:
- 1.2 GHz Allwinner A10 ARM Cortex-A8 CPU
- Mali 400 graphics
- 4GB built-in storage (1.5GB available in the Android user partition)
- 802.11n WiFi
- 10/100 Ethernet
- 2 USB 2.0 ports
- SDHC card slot
- HDMI
- 3.5mm mic jack
- composite video output
- 4-pin serial header
The Hackberry A10 can be booted from a SDHC card or from the internal storage. This lets you load Ubuntu or another operating system on a removable storage card, while keeping Android on the internal storage.
