SD 600eval Development Board Compliant with 96Boards CE Extended To Sell for $279

Last month, we found out that Arrows Electronics was working on DragonBoard 600c development board featuring Qualcomm Snapragon 600 processor and based on 96Boards CE Extended version which allows for extra features such as SATA and Ethernet ports. At the time, the complete specifications were not available, and neither pricing. We do now have more details, as the board designed by Elinfochips is (also) called SD 600eval, and is available on back order for $279.

The company provides Android 5.1 with Linux 3.4 support for the board, and Linaro will provide the Linux BSP for D 600eval/Dragonboard 600c, so hopefully a more recent Linux kernel will be supported. There are several links to software and hardware documentation, source code and binaries on the “Resources” section of the product page, including schematics (PDF) and hardware user manual.

I have worked at eInfochip, Ahmedabad in Embedded Linux Division.
I found them to be incompetent for software support for their product.

Do not buy their products if you do not have dedicated Linux development team.
You will loose a big chunk of money for bug fixing and driver development.

Absolutely No to eInfochip’s hardware. Find a good stable alternative.

@CNX You’re right. This variant didn’t launch until Q1 2013, April-June 2013. After some more checking the S4 pro was launched in October 2012. Not sure where I got July/August from. I’ll blame it on just waking up. Point is it’s an old chip. I’m not sure there’s many recent smartphones using it as everyone’s moving to 64bit. Supplies will probably be quite scarce and given that this board is aimed more at designing commercial products rather than hobbyists given the price it seems way to late to the game. Given that it’s not even available yet with no hint… Read more »

Or get the Inforce 6410+

Same chip, similar specs and I/O, half the price, and not in the stupid 96boards form factor.

I have similar feelings about the form factor…
