OLinuXino

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

The project's goal was to design DIY friendly industrial grade Linux board which everyone can reproduce at home, using widely available components that are easy to solder by hand, being housed in e.g. 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.

The OLinuxino development started on 7 March 2012. The PCB routing was complete by 23 March and first 10 prototypes were ready on 17 April.

Four types of iMX233-OLinuXino were developed:

Features:

The Chinese company Allwinner released in April 2012 Cortex-A8 SoC in TQFP package, this was spotted immediately by OLinuXino developers and they start working on OLinuXino board based on A13 Three OLinuXino boards with A13 processor were released:

Features:

A13 have no native Ethernet, so when Allwinner announced in November 2012 new A10S processor with HDMI and Ethernet and dual core A20 processor they were chosen for new OLinuXino boards

Features:

Same features as A10S-OlinuXino-MICRO + 4 GB NAND Flash memory.

Features:

Same features as A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB + 4 GB NAND Flash memory.

Same features as A20-OlinuXino-LIME + 4 GB NAND Flash memory.

Same features as A20-OlinuXino-LIME2 + 4 GB NAND Flash memory.
