Here you can see the first prototype of H3-OLinuXino. Our first Quad core OSHW Linux SBC.

What it have:

H3 quad core Cortex-A7

1GB DDR3 Ram

optional 4GB NAND Flash

micro SD card

USB-OTG

2x USB-HOST

LCD connector with 0.1″ step (not assembled on the pictire)

GPIO connector with 0.1″ step (not assembled on the pictrure)

UEXT connector

HDMI

Ethernet 100Mb

dimensions only 80×50 mm

Now these first prototypes will be put on heavy testing before we run the board in production. We want to see if they will be able to run Linux yet or just Android.

From what I’ve read on the net H3 is overheating big time, due to the integration of the Ethernet PHY to the SOC silicon. We will see how bad it is.

We have no price for H3-OLinuXino yet as there are just first prototypes and there may be changes in the design.

UPDATE: 20:00 o’clock – It works! … but even with aluminum heatsink it heats up to 80C 😦 we will take more experiments and measurements but so far it seems H3 consumes x3 times more than A20
