8devices - Carambola 2

The http://8devices.com/carambola-2 is an AR9330 SoC based embedded board suitable for incorporating into existing designs. It provides all of the IO as pads on the rim of module. A development board is available with USB, RS232, ethernet and antenna exposed on the board.

It has an Atheros style uboot with TFTP load and run-in-place functionality, suitable for doing quick prototyping with (ie, you don't have to flash the unit each time you wish to test a kernel - you can just netboot said kernel.) The smaller AR933x based uboot's have this disabled, requiring you to flash a uboot format kernel before you can boot it.

  • AR9330 SoC
  • 1×1 2GHz 802.11n support
  • 16MiB NOR flash
  • 64MiB RAM
  • Five 10/100 ethernet ports via an on-chip ethernet switch
  • USB host port
  • RS232 console port
  • Lots of GPIO pins

The development board breaks these out:

  • 2 x 10/100 ports
  • Reset and GPIO button
  • USB Host port
  • Power and RS232 console via mini-USB
