Re: AW: New Arndale board announced

Hi all,

You might be on the money with the SoC not having it, if you see the Omap5 A15 SoC it would suggest that Sata is an option. There is a board here: http://www.embedded.rs/

That sports a Sata2 pdf spec here: http://www.embedded.rs/sites/default/files/EPP-Pico-OMAP5430_Datasheet.pdf

That being said, this Samsung soc is more leaning towards phone / tablet so it might not be there.

Nice board. It seems that they have learned from some design flaws of their original arndale board design. Three things that I think are still criticall: 1. They still have no reasonable cooling solution and no mounting holes for a standard cooler/fan. The orginal arndale board got overheated really fast with a working clock of over 1GHz and was therefor very unstable.

Indeed, the odroid XU seems better in that regard.

2. The board is missing a SATA connector. The internal eMMC is far to slow for speedy sw development.

There is USB3 which should in theory give you fast storage, the question is will it be fast and stable in practice.

Does anyone know if the reason for the lack of SATA is because the SoC doesn't have it, because the vendors can't be bothered including it or some other reason?
