Shiny new exynos 4412 board and hi-res touchscreen + mini210s black edition released on andahammer

It looks like www.andahammer.com and friendlyarm have been busy again and released a couple of new boards, first up we have the mini210s black edition, with some neat features, made exclusively for andahammer, they feature a 6pin header for access to the buzzer, pot and mic headers and a write protect for the eeprom which means you can safely store mac addresses, phone numbers, device serial numbers etc. and retrieve them at boot, lastly there is a jumper to silence the onboard piezo buzzer.

They're only small changes but from a developers point of view they open up some nice features, firstly it means that you're no longer tied to having the inconvenient onboard placement for the buzzer, pot and mic, once the min210 is in a case, those devices will be near useless so being able to place them where they can be used is a big help.

As mentioned for the eeprom, it's easy to see the advantages of having a write protect option, it means that you can store information on the device without worrying it will be wiped, it means you can have a small level of security over your stored data and uniquely identify the board and more importantly store a mac address which is useful if you have a lot of mini210S on a network.

The buzzer, it screeches like a banshee, being able to mute it with a jumper is manna from heaven :)

Onto the shiny new exynos 4412 board, the folks over at http://www.andahammer.com/tiny4412sdk-hd70/ have a system ready to go, it's a standard friendylarm 'tiny' form factor, so it's a core tiny board (cpu, ram, e-mmc) with an arm cortex-a9 quad core cpu, 1GB ddr 3, 4GB e-mmc flash, then you have the SDK board which has all of the headers for all of the peripherals like usb/micro usb, ethernet, SD socket, com ports, hdmi, g-sensor (accelerometer), audio out/mic in,buttons and most interestingly there is a cpld on board for some programmable logic fun, if you want more information keep an eye on the andahammer website for updates.

I almost forgot, the LCD that goes with the tiny4412 kit is a 7" high resolution 1280x800 capacitive touchscreen which gives it a very nice resolution for any of the modern OS distros.

I can't wait to see what this board can actually do, 1.5Ghz quad core should go like a rocket, lots of ram, the nand flash should be that bit faster on the e-mmc setup, it should have better 3d/2d support and the usual hd codec support, it will be running kernel 3.50 and android 4.2.
