Anyone else seen the new Raspberry Pi 2 yet?
It boasts a 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (~6x performance) and 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM (2x memory).
"Because it has an ARMv7 processor, it can run the full range of ARM GNU/Linux distributions, including Snappy Ubuntu Core, as well as Microsoft Windows 10."
This may mean that full blown ARC Windows may run on the credit card sized Pi which can easily be embedded in a robot. As good as the mobile version is and may become there can be no substitute for the desktop in many cases.
The specs are below the minimum stated for ARC on the site but it may just about work, I know I've run ARC (albeit an older version) on a lesser spec machine before so it could work out well.
If not, at least it's an improved spec for any SDK applications (and whatever else you use the Pi for).
If I get around to getting one I'll give ARC (and Windows 10) a try.
Suitable application is a no brainer dude, throw Kodi on it (was XBMC) and you have the best media centre ever made (I'm something of a fanboy though since I've always used XBMC since it's XBMP days).
The original Pi surprised me with the power it has, I wouldn't rule out video processing to be honest but the proof is in the pudding.
I'll probably be ordering one soon but have more important things to waste my money on
I know, but you cannot compare a openelec optimized for rasberry with an win10/ARC.
Shure, for 35$ It would be a good news if not, and I hope I'm wrong
From an article I read about it:
"This is Windows 10 intended for IoT applications and the intention here is to have a device which you can use to build IoT devices," he said.
"The intention is you can take a Windows 10 application that you can run on Surface, PC, a Windows phone and now Raspberry Pi as well."
For $35 I'm game.
