The boards from the OLinuXino family are powerful and easy to setup. They are suitable for
embedded programming enthusiasts, Linux and Android gadget fans and also professionals (since
its low cost makes it very good solution for application orientated embedded systems). The main
usage of the board is software embedded development without the urge of understanding perfectly
the hardware.
The strong points of the boards are the processor speed, the mobility of the board and the low ratio
price to productivity.
A13-OLinuXino-MICRO aims at the lowest possible cost while maintaining the key OLinuXino
features. It is suitable for cases when a number of boards are used. It is suitable for different Linux
distributions.

OLinuXino-MICRO.
The base model has also two flavors: A13-OLinuXino and A13-OLinuXino-MICRO-WIFI. The
first one is the base model that goes without any operating system image on board, while the second
