So from the article "The BlueSteel-Basic is available for pre-order now at $55" and the full version is $55 at Digikey. What's the point? :) Moreover does removing a couple of chips make this board industrial friendly?
"The IT version offers an industrial temperature range of -40 to 100°C" - who wrote this bullshit? There aren't any ICs at the market that can accept such temperature :) This COM is a BBB clone and really tested and qualified for industrial applications! http://www.mentorel.com/product/usomiq-am335x/ 2014-06-18 9:19 GMT+04:00 William Hermans <yyrk...@gmail.com>: > From what I could gather from the article, these are embest ./ element14 > boards.
