The computer is pre-loaded with Linux (Ubuntu Linaro?), and you may want to read user and developer information about hardware and software on Utilite2 Wiki for complete details. I could not find much information for Android 4.4.3, maybe it will be published a little later.

Man, I don’t have much complaints about design, but this case looks ugly….. 😀
This is nice but for me it’s too late, I already got a Jetsons TK1 and now I’m looking for a 64 bit ARM SOC. Still good though if you want ARM32
@Marius Cirsta
Indeed, nice try, but IMHO a lot of people are already waiting for their ARMv8 board. I’m still surprised by the fact how many phones/tablets already run on ARMv8 and yet still there is no nice cheap hobby board with this — except the first swallow in 96board by HiKey of course…
@kcg
Yes my thoughts exactly, they’re quite late with this one. As for ARMv8 I’m thinking about getting the new nVidia console which although not really a devel board could maybe serve such a purpose as long as I can find the UART :). Don’t really need JTAG or anything fancy.
I have just put up a Cubox and it is working solid. I have one of the Inforce IFC6410’s which may run the same images.
“listed on UK based TinyGreenPC for respectively £158.00 ($241) and £181.00 ($276)”
The prices on the TinyGreenPC site are deceptively low.
They no longer appear to include the caveat “excludes VAT” next to the price, so it is not until one gets to the checkout that one discovers that the real price is **20%** more., namely £189.60 and £217.20.
And if you opt for the fast shipping, the real cost is £12 because it is again £10 plus 20% VAT.
Avoid ordering from TinyGreenPC unless you have money to burn …
