Summary of ACME Systems launched Arietta G25 a new micro Linux Board
The Arietta G25 is a compact, affordable ARM9 Linux embedded module designed for DIY and maker projects. Priced at EUR 9.99 initially, it features an Atmel AT91SAM9G25 SoC running at 400MHz with 128MB or 256MB DDR2 RAM. The board supports MicroSD booting, Wi-Fi modules, and various interfaces like USB, UART, I2C, SPI, and PWM. It operates on 3.3V power and includes user-configurable LEDs and debug ports, making it ideal for low-power, small-form-factor applications.
