the idea of a credit card sized board, running open sourced code, to connect with peripherals is fantastic. but this project is going to disappoint. the guy works for broadcom which is how he got the smaller than minimum quantity of chips, so don't expect it to be repeated by anyone else. it's aim claims to be education, and people compare this to kit computers many years ago, but this is a far cry from that. this guy wants to steer you to use GNU/Linux and scripting languages like Python. no assembly programming. how can a kid learn about hardware without learning assembly? so much for education.
