UDOO Neo Documentation
Introduction
UDOO NEO
UDOO NEO is an all-in-one open hardware low-cost computer equipped with a NXP™ i.MX 6SoloX applications processor for Android and Linux.
UDOO NEO embeds two cores on the same processor: a powerful 1GHz ARM® Cortex-A9, and an ARM Cortex-M4 I/O real-time co-processor that can run up to 200Mhz.
While the Cortex-A9 can run both Android Lollipop and UDOObuntu 2 - a dedicated Ubuntu-based Linux distro - the Cortex-M4 allows easy access to a Arduino™ environment. The snap-in connector ensures a plug-and-play interaction with most sensors and actuators.
Thanks to its embedded 9-axis motion sensors and a Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 module, the board is ideal to create robots, drones and rovers as well as any Mobile IoT project you can imagine.
Heads up! In order to prevent damages to your board, remember to:
- Never provide more than 3.3V in input to the GPIOs
- Never keep the board in touch with metal objects or surfaces while it is powered up
