UDOO

[humblehacker]

The UDOO is an IOT development board that combines the power of 4x Raspberry Pis with a 32 Bit Microcontroller (e.g 4x Arduino Uno or 1x Arduino DUE). For all its potential, its development has been somewhat disappointing. Nevertheless, the fact that the UDOO packs so much more processing power with an integrated microcontroller makes me wonder if it would find a new lease on life as an EasyIOT/MySensors controller? One advantage it has is has much less difficulty running Java-based platforms like Freedomotic and in theory the Controller could connect to the Gateway internally instead of through USB.
Of course one of its major disadvantages is that so many open source IOT hubs now are packaged as flashable disc images specifically for the Raspberry Pi. I wonder if it would be too difficult to run some of the Custom Raspbian Images like the one created for EasyIOT, as generic Debian that would be compatible with other ARM-based MiniPCs like the UDOO, Beaglebone, PCDuino etc...?

@humblehacker

It surely looks powerful enough to run your controller.

Much depends on whether or not the MySensors library supports the 32Bit Arduino Due, as the UDOOs I/O is identical. I know the https://github.com/gnulnulf/RF24 library recently added DUE support but it had to be added.

@humblehacker Hi. I'm very interested! Did you try it? Any success using UDOO as a controller/gateway?

Hi all,
any news about this? Is MySensors library compatible with 32Bit Arduino Due?
Thanks

Hi made a Google search and found a fork of RF24 that supports Arduino Due https://github.com/mcrosson/RF24/commit/ac05a9d8f755dcc7ff12b7e08021f62c0b5f3543

But it seems not integrated into the official github repo
