Yes, but without speech, how would you get your wifi network name and
password into it?

I have read about this CHIP.

Perhaps it can be accessible,; anyways it is suposed to run the wifi
from the first boot, so SSH shall be available.

The nice thing here is that this kind of developments make feasible a
more flexible and accessible enviroment for home automation or internet
of things.

this device sounds more like a raspberry pie then a raspberry pie be. I'm
wondering how we would go about setting it up without an ethernet port. We
wouldn't be able to get SSH going on it unless the image comes by default

Hi,

I've backed them and will hopefully be receiving one of the pocket
chips when / if they ship. A lot of the things that I use my Pi's for
don't really require the sort of specs that the Pi has, so if I can
get something cheaper it just makes sense. I also have a few ideas for
projects that might not just be oneoffs & given the pricepoint using
one of these instead of a Pi would be advantagious.

My only concern is how much testing the onboard storage has had done
to it - E.G. realisticly how long until it fails? When it does fail is
there some ROM in addition to the main storage that kicks things off
at a very low level that could allow us to boot from a USB device
instead? I guess given its cheap price you can just buy another one
when it dies but that's not really the point.

Cheers,
Ben.

I agree with Tomi about the RAM. If it was a gig like the Pi2 it would
be a whole different ball-game.

However it is a cool price for a general purpose microntroller for
embedded devices and industrial applications.

There are already folks buying Raspberry Pis for 35 bucks and selling
them in 19 inch racks for thousands of dollars, built-in to all kinds of
industrial control applications. This little gizmo is perfect for that.

Hi

On the other hand; why one have to run GUI on it?

This kind of device is suitable for ebedded devices such as internet of
things, phones, daisy players, home automation etc where one does not
have

to run general purpose graphical OS with all the eye candy.
