Why are we doing this?

We believe in making computers open again to democratize technology and empower individuals and organizations to explore, experiment, and create without the constraints of proprietary systems.

What are we doing?

We design versatile and affordable single-board computers to provide developers, hobbyists, and educators with a platform for prototyping, experimentation, and production of embedded systems. Our comprehensive documentation, tutorials, and vibrant online community support users in their projects and foster knowledge sharing.

Through open-source hardware designs, diverse software support, and active community engagement, we enable users to customize, innovate, and collaborate effortlessly in embedded computing.
