[TriEmbed] Triembed - Open Proposal

[Kevin Schilf]

 Hi Pete,
Thanks for sharing the post about PI 4.  It is an impressive piece of hardware especially at that price point.
The form factor is appealing.  Buy a module with the desired engine and high density connectors to drive a custom I/O card.  Several vendors have been doing this with micro and FPGA modules.

I am also a fan of PCIe as a medium to move a great deal of data.
My hat is off to the originators of PI.  I am not sure how they got Broadcom (notoriously difficult to work with) on board initially.

Kevin

HA! No sooner did I hit "send" than Newark sent me something about the RPI 4 compute module announced a week ago (details here and here).

Hi Kevin,
 
  What about a cheap but capable board that could host Android and provide a platform that could run many "smartphone apps" without the "smartphone cost"? Some kind of AI acceleration would be a plus.

 Triembed, 
  From time to time interesting "mini" boards appear from maker groups, ham operators, etc. to solve a particular problem (current sense, fpga develoment, DDS, etc.)  These devices are inexpensive ( $50 +/- to a couple of hundred dollars) and offer more specific capabilities than the generic OEM reference designs without man-years of development.  They have enough market interest (100's or maybe 1000's of units) to justify development effort but not enough to attract the Chinese Walkers (the giant four-legged assault vehicles from "Empire Strikes Back").  My apologies to Mr. Lucas.
  
  I am a HW guy.  My wheelhouse is PCB's, FPGA, and firmware.  My interest far outstrips my ability on the host side (application development, device drivers).  I am looking for such ideas to implement as an open collaboration of people having complementary skills.
  
  Thank you for taking the time to read.  I return you to the other 500 emails in your Inbox.  :-)
  
  Sincerely,
