PCDUINO Overview
As a new board PC member, PcDuino can be described as a red fire, but some people mention its design and creator-Lianspui Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., PcDuino is like Lian Sprig, the whole team is in it. The body poured a lot of effort, and the purpose of creating a high-performance open source hardware platform for the vast enthusiasts. After the "rolling and opposite side" of countless day and night, PCDUINO has finally come.
As a new member in a single board, PcDuino has a new member of the newcomer. It doesn't know how to low-key. It is not long after the introduction, and it has made "the wind and rain of the city." What is powerful confidence makes it dare to face the tip of the mouth Situation.
Pcduino adopts the China Core A10 processor, this is a mobile ARM Cortex-A8 kernel processor designed by domestic general science and technology, the main frequency reached 1GHz, and the ARM MAIL-400 GPU is integrated.
PCDUINO with A10 processor has become a high-performance, cost-effective mini PC platform that can run a PC operating system such as Ubuntu and Android ICS. It can output a video to a TV or display screen by a built-in HDMI interface. Pcduino is specifically for the rapid growth of open source communities, that is, it is hoped to have a platform that can run a full PC operating system, easy to use toolchain and an open ecosystem that is compatible with popular Arduino, such as Arduino Shield and open source projects.

PcDuino Quick Start
Will you always feel that you will feel like a white board? We have to complain that the packaging is too simple, the accessories are all, and you can do it with a cottage. But it is very helpless, the reality is this, so some preparation work is necessary before you start using PcDuino.
Preparation: PcDuino board, one display, 5V / 2A power adapter
Standard HDMI interface line
MiCro USB port line
Finally, in accordance with your needs, you can properly connect some peripherals, such as the keyboard mouse, PcDuino offers two USB HOST interfaces, so you need to prepare a USB HUB when you exceed the limit.
Power-on start
According to the requirements, the peripherals you need is well connected, and the PcDuino has built-in its unique Lubuntu system, plugging in power, waiting for a moment to enter this system
At this point, we really entered the PCDUino experience trip to advance the way to the master.
Note: It is best to use standard 5V / 2A power adapters and quality USB lines, or may result in system damage in NAND FLASH, specifically refer to the first question in FAQ.

PCDUINO VS RPI, catch up with OR?
We have to accept a reality. Now the Raspberry is red, and people are afraid that the pig is afraid. Therefore, the gossip of the Raspberry Pie is relatively more than, and the major manufacturers "Remember", and therefore "reached a Consensus "I like to compare my own board and the Raspberry Pieces to reflect the superiority of their own board. Whenever you launch new products, you can take the Rabberries to" sprinkle ", you can go here. Dare to open the Board Raspberry School, when Pcduino and Raspberry Party, it is really stronger, I am afraid that I accidentally throw the bricks.
Pcduino VS RPI
Appearance
Pcduino and Raspberry Party are huge in appearance, but the shape is very selling, and each is characterized.
Hardware
In the hardware comparison, Pcduino has a non-wrong advantage. It is not a level of things. This is not a level of things. If you use the Raspberry to refresh the waves, then you are going to browse the slide, and In PcDuino, there is no pressure.
Software
The biggest feature of open source lies in software, not hardware, hardware is just a software service, which is better running software. At present, Pcduino support has Linux3.x, Lubuntu12.04, Android4.0.0.0.0.4, Arch Linux, and Raspberry Pie account for great innate advantages, supported system relatively wide, with Debian GNU / Linux, Fedora, Arch Linux , RISC OS, worthy of, PcDuino and Raspberry Party support current popular Arduino, which can be seen that PcDuino will not fall behind in the support of open source system software, regardless of them.
Price
Compared to the low price of the Raspberry, PcDuino seems to be a bit of the heart, but its price is built in unparalleled hardware configuration advantages, more and more larger, and the love board network will never disappoint everyone. At this time When PcDuino group purchase is carried out, help the Chinese core, and the heart is not as good as action.
Finally, the author summarizes it, when there is no price advantage, PcDuino completes the raspberry.
PCDUINO resource assembly
What is the most important thing for an open source platform? There is no doubt that we choose an open source, which means he chooses him unparalleled huge resource, remember that there is no thief in the world, and Li Shu has answered this problem. "What is the most important thing in the 21 World?" "Talent", here I want to tell you that there is more important than talent in the 21st century, that is, the start! A message is only 0.05 seconds from the end of the earth to the other end, so as long as there is a message, we can create talents. Open source platform is a cradle of gestation talents. Now, PCDUINO is also one of them, and it also brings a message that cannot be estimated.
