Our recently published catalog of 116 open spec hacker boards and reader survey have received considerable interest. However, fewer than 600 people have so far clicked on through to SurveyMonkey to fill out the brief survey about hacker boards and vote for their favorites. To boost those numbers closer to the 1,705 participants we had last year and make the survey more representative, we are extending the deadline by three days through Friday, 9PM PST (or midnight Eastern time) on June 22.

If we closed the survey today, the odds would be better than 1 in 40 of winning one of our 15 prizes donated by Aaeon, Qualcomm, and Gumstix. These include five Aaeon UP board models including the UP, UP Squared, and UP Core, as well as the new UP Core Plus SBC and AI Core module with a Myriad 2 VPU. There are also five DragonBoard 410C SBCs from Qualcomm and Arrow, which have been hard to find on sale lately, as well as five Gumstix Chatterbox Alexa Voice Service add-on boards for the Raspberry Pi.

To help you select your favorite hacker boards, we once again invite you to check out our freshly updated summaries of 116 SBCs, as well as our spreadsheet that compares key features of all the boards. Since our initial publication, we have added downloadable xls and pdf formats in addition to the Google Docs version.
