$15 and it looks like it meets all your specs.Hi,Have you looked at the pcduino3 nano lite.
It has everything in the kernel and uboot and works with Fedora 23 with no modifications.
I've got Yor Linux armv7 build working on it, so I'm quite certain it will work with CentOS arm build, but I have not tested it.
There are two downsides to this board.
1 - the sata (and power cable) are sold separately
Ah, I see it does have a sata port. I missed that the first time.
And it looks like it has the 5V power out that will hopefully power any HD up to 1A.
If it uses the same uboot as the pcduino 3 nano, then I can take the Cubietruck image and dd the appropriate uboot and boot.
Have you tested it? The big test is to only have uboot on a 4Gb mSD and the whole image on the Sata HD and see if it switches over like the Cubieboard does. Otherwise there is a lot of customization needed.
Yes, I've tested it. It used the same uboot and kernel dtd as the pcduino 3 nano.
I have a couple of the pcduino 3 nano machines and ordered a couple of the lite's, so I've used both. I used the nano uboot on the lite and it worked with no modifications. I also did nothing with the kernel and it worked great.
I am assuming those 3 posts off to the side are for the serial console. Nice that they put it off to the side. But that would mess up a case somewhat.
I cannot get the serial console working. I have follow the schematic at:
http://learn.linksprite.com/pcduino/quick-start/pcduino8/explanation-of-headers-of-pcduino3-nano/
To connect a USB/TTL adapter and run (as I do for my Cubieboards)
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
And nothing. So I really want to have this working to bring up C7 on it for testing.
I don't have an adaptor for the serial ports, so I've just been using the hdmi, which works great. But I guess then you have to hook up a hdmi and usb keyboard, which might make things harder, depending on your setup.
