Imagination Creator CI20 hits production

Imagination Technology has revealed the production version of its Creator CI20 single board computer.

Compared with the developers version, available for a few months, on-board flash is doubled to 8Gbyte and the PCB is now a rather striking purple.

CI20 is Imaginations attempt to popularise the MIPS architecture (which it owns) against ARM, and is essentially a large, more expensive, more capable homage to Raspberry Pi.

On board are: dual-core 1.2 GHz MIPS-based Ingenic JZ4780processor, PowerVR SGX540 GPU (Imagination also owns PowerVR), H.264-capable video decoder, 1GbyteRAM, 8Gbyte flash, SD card slot, Ethernet, Wi-Fi b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.0.

There is an HDMI port for screens up to 1080p screen.

There are two operating system options: Debian 7 Linux or Android 4.4 KitKat.
