We toss together our own PCB designs, throwing in a microcontroller here or there. Anything more demanding than that, and we reach for a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone (or an old Linksys router). Why d… ...

Although Android technically runs on top of Linux, generally most Android devices abstract away the underlying Linux-ness of these machines. In theory this is a good thing; we wouldn’t necess… ...

Sure, there’s a chance you could turn your old smartphone into a pocket-sized Linux computer by replacing the operating system. But if you’re looking for a purpose-built device with a ...

But a hardware hacker going by Reimu NotMoe has scooped out the guts of the phone and replaced them with a custom printed circuit board (PCB) and other components to transform the Nokia 1680 ...

FXI is preparing to launch the Cotton Candy, a tiny computer that looks like a USB thumb drive. The device, which can run either Ubuntu or Android 4.0, has a dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 CPU ...

To ease the layout of industrial Linux computer PCBs, at Embedded World in Nuremberg Microchip announced a complete processor, memory and comms sub-system in a 40 x 38mm module. The module is single ...

A new wave of super-computers with CMOS Integrated Silicon Nanophotonics, and Linux, of course, will approach Exabyte speeds by the end of the decade.

Not pictured: Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner on lightcycles. The $25 Raspberry Pi computer (which can run Quake III) is still on track for wide release next year. The ARM GNU/Linux box is ...

And given that Bodhi Linux can make an aging computer feel brand new, it's less likely that old desktop machine will wind up in a landfill somewhere.

Developers looking for a tiny Linux computer might be interested in this new VoCore open hardware computer that is roughly the same size as a coin and measures just 25mm x 25mm in size. The VoCore ...
