about EOL, They RPi folks have done a great job with their product line versus the Kickstarter funded groups. They still keep selling their very first RPi model A after 5yrs Now that's diligence and loyalty to their customers
FYI, Intel just discontinued all of their ARM/Linux SBC's Edison, Galileo, and Joule -- poof ! Dan
I was actually going to bring this up but decided not to, now that someone has though... I actually own a Joule, got it for Christmas, very expensive little board but its quite powerful and tiny! Though it throttles badly without the included heat-sink which makes the what was tiny module large... The Joule was only released last September I think!!! Less than a year and it's dead! The Edison and Galileo I EXPECTED to get killed off at some-point... The Galileo was never super well received and just never found a place. The Edison while a neat concept never made it far... The Joule, was NEVER targeted at hobbyist really, it was targeted for embedded applications. So I am really surprised that they axed that, especially being so young, I guess it was in the same department as the other two... Though Intel is probably doing this to make budget to play catch-up with AMD :P -Connor K
