I want one of these Pi Zero Motherboards, but there has been no update by the company since January

Like others, I have a stack of Pi systems doing file storage, DNS ad blocking, webservers, home control monitoring, XMBC, etc. A clean mount would be cool




Actually there has been a bit of movement on this board - they did some initial cost analysis and it came out way to expensive ($1000 a board!) so they are going back to the drawing board.

Thanks for the update. I've poked at the twitter feed, but I missed where it says the boards would be $1000 each. (Using Google Translate sometimes doesn't go well).

Maybe when the new Compute Module comes out, someone will come up with a way to put a stack of them on the same board.



Very cool board, love how they get all of that crammed into such a small footprint.

But,it has two problems. 1) you still need to do all the cables to connect them to the outside world. 2)Allwinner support for weird boards is often a problem. I've gotten a few of them in the "wow, look at all the features" to find that the drivers and support underneath has real problems.

The Pi / Beaglebone ecosystems have one key thing, lots of very smart people are working on the hardware/software interface level. This means that things just work. The Pi team has multiple person-decades of software improvements.
