1.2 Target market and purpose of the board
The boards from the OLinuXino family are easy to setup and powerful. They are suitable for
embedded programming enthusiasts, Linux and Android gadget fans and also professionals (since
its low cost makes it very good solution for application orientated embedded systems). The main
usage of the board is software embedded development without the urge of understanding perfectly
the hardware.
The strong points of the boards are the processor speed, the mobility of the board and the low ratio
price to productivity.
Customers have full access to the technical documentation of the board. The software is released
under General Purpose License and the board is considered open-hardware.
1.3 Board variants
There are two major board variants. According to the names: A13-OLinuXino and A13-OLinuXino-
MICRO.
The base model has also two flavors: A13-OLinuXino and A13-OLinuXino-WIFI. The first one is
the base model that goes without any operating system image on board, while the second has two
additional components – a WIFI module on the board and NAND memory with stored Android
image.
The information on A13-OLinuXino-Micro will be added at a later time but so far the board is most
likely to differ from the base A13-OLinuXino by having only 1 USB host, 1 USB OTG, no power
connector, no NAND memory, no WIFI, no audio out connector, less buttons.
