OLinuXino

OLinuXino is an open hardware single-board computer capable of running Android or Linux designed by OLIMEX Ltd in Bulgaria.

OLinuXino Open Source Hardware Linux computer

The project's goal was to design DIY friendly industrial-grade Linux board which everyone can reproduce at home. It leverages widely-available hand-solderable components which are reasonable to purchase in low quantities, housed in TQFP packages. The project's CAD files are hosted on GitHub, allowing everyone to study and customize them according to their needs. Initially OLinuXino was designed with EAGLE. In March 2016 the first boards designed with KiCad became available as OLIMEX Ltd announced plans on switching development to Open Source CAD tools.[1]
