UDOO
The UDOO is a single-board computer development platform that merges a dual or quad core ARM Freescale Cortex-A9 i.MX.6 CPU and an Arduino compatible board embedded with a dedicated ARM Atmel SAM3X8E CPU.
UDOO is a joint effort of SECO USA Inc. (www.seco.com ) and Aidilab (www.aidilab.com), in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of researchers with expertise in interaction design, embedded systems, sensor networks and cognitive science, who have worked together in several projects.[1]
History
Kickstarter campaign
The UDOO project was launched on Kickstarter on April 9, 2013 and was fully subscribed by the end of the 60 day launch period. Their goal of $27,000 was well exceeded as 4,172 backers pledged $641,614. The opportunity to get on board was partly fueled by the chance to be among the first to support the project, but also to purchase at heavily discounted prices.
The marketing strategy was based on 12 sponsorship packages ranging from $1 (where exclusive updates were promised) through to a $318 pledge (which offered dual core and quad core boards, both with WiFi, Ethernet, accessories and pre-loaded software). This meant there were choices to suit every budget and level of interest, as reflected in the extraordinary level of take-up.[1]
