This looks interesting, looks a little $$$, but it's small and x86 and quad core

FFS I know, I use a J3355B yes it's only dual core compared to the J3455B quad,But they are still somewhat larger form factor, doesn't have twin Ethernet, nor the GPIO options. Nor have 8GB RAM installed, you need to get a PSU, nor do they have wireless on board, and the only storage options are SSD\HDD. And the J3455B & J3355B aren't as readily available as the were before.
I wasn't comparing them I was pointing out an interesting little x86 SBC.
And where will you get a $15 ITX case ?
Sometimes bbsr_5a you add nothing to a conversation.

And the Odyssey uses the same CPU as the newer Asrock Gemini lake based board.

I have to agree with burning it !

I hope it is ok to comment on this old thread.  has anyone succeeded running LinuxCNC on this board?  if so, what's the prognosis?

I see they have a slightly newer version, with a newer CPU; Intel Celeron J4125.

As well as the small form factor, I like it having two network interfaces, one can be dedicated to a MESA7I95.  and the other to my home network.   I am putting my electronics into a cooper B-Line NEMA enclosure and this would fit nicely.

thanks



 

I do have one and yes I have lcnc running on it. I even did some pci extention and a lpt port running on the extender. When I had problems with trying to access a 7i43. Never got it running. Got in contact with seeed Hotline, the talked quite big but never delivered. Their support is not worth to be called so. The even can't tell you how the connection to the included samd chips is solved.
Never intended to use this board but having it as test bench for all versions of lcnc.. And a solution with the standalone cpu ( 61131) on board seemed sexy..
Very well made hw, but cause of lacking support collecting dust since a year.

thanks. I'll probably hold off on buying one for now. too many other parts are needed.
