Got an email from Element 14 about this board:
http://www.newark.com/riotboard/mcimx6-solo/i-mx6solo-iot-hdmi-multimedia/dp/07X2279Datasheet:
http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1791875.pdfI already have several android devices for development but for $79 this looks pretty cool. I probably won't get it but just to spread out the word.
I've never heard of the i.MX 6Solo chip by freescale, since most of my devices are Tegra based, and no, I won't get the new Tegra K1 just yet, wel... maybe...
But I'm too busy with FPGAs so I might skip this iteration of Android devices.
But if you want an android desktop this kit might do the trick.
Not sure on the graphics performance so it's not that I'm recommending it, jut letting you all know about it's existence. What I know is that it only supports OpenGL ES 2.0. Most new tablets support 3.0 and the K1 supports the full (as in not ES) OpenGL 4.4 and DirectX 11 if you are running some windows flavor OS (will assume RT but i'm not proficient at all on mobile Windows).
