Single Board Computer "Tritium" which is fully compatible with Razpai and low cost but also supports high performance Android

Speaking of single board computers, they are often used as controllers and brains when developing IoT products. Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pie) is the name that comes first, but among them high specRaspberry Pi 3 model BA single-board computer of higher performance, lower price and same size than "Tritium"is. It is an excellent one that can be used exactly like Raspberry Pi as it is.

◆ What is "Tritium"?

"Tritium" is the same form factor (dimension) as Raspberry Pi 3 model B, and is a single board computer compatible with "Android 7" "Linux" for people looking for something of higher performance.


It also offers more 'memory', 'storage', 'GPU throughput', 'USB port', 'Ethernet bandwidth', better '4K / 30fps video function' and 'Android 7 Nougat support', and Raspberry Pi 3's It is said to function as fully compatible hardware. The chip (Soc) used for "Tritium" is manufactured by the same manufacturing process as Raspberry Pi. The 512 MB board (H 2 + SoC) forms the basis of the IoT model, the 1 GB board (H 3 SoC) provides higher HDMI support · faster I / O interface, but the CCPU is a relatively older one with ARM Cortex - A 7 Use it. The 2 GB board (H5 SoC) has the same CPU (Cortex - A 53) as Raspberry Pi 3 and provides 64 - bit function.


Also, you can control electronics such as Arduino, teach programming in various programming languages, build a media center for 4K video playback, create digital signage solutions, play retro games, interactive There are many other potentials such as realizing video calls. Using Raspberry Pi's existing large-scale collaborative hardware system, creators can build even more exciting products and services by using the high-spec configuration of "Tritium".

◆ Software support

"Linux distribution" Ubuntu "" Debian "" Fedora "" Armbian "etc can be used immediately. Also, unlike Raspberry Pi, "Tritium" has a major advantage in terms of Android support, and with the existing open source community, it will provide extensive software support.


◆ What if I already have software running on Raspberry Pi?

Depending on the board, ARMv8 (2GB board only), is that of to be available by re-compile ARMv7, the code was compiled with the ARMv6 with Linux. In addition, in order to boot the image of an existing Raspberry Pi is, it is necessary to install a different boot loader and the kernel to the microSD card, a tool to do thisGithubWe offer it. Android 7 Android based on Nougat said it will run on 1GB board and 2GB board via eMMC and microSD card.


In addition, "Tritium" is a cloud funding platformKickstarterWe are seeking investment for commercialization and succeeded in gathering more than $ 20,000 (about 2.25 million yen) at the time of article creation where the target amount is 10,000 dollars (about 1.1 million yen) Productization is almost certain.
