Linux-capable Arduino TRE debuts at Maker Faire Rome




The Arduino project announced a third-generation Arduino single board computer featuring a dual-processor architecture, and able to run a “full Linux” OS. The Arduino TRE features both a 1GHz 32-bit TI Sitara AM335x 32-bit ARM Cortex-A8 processor, for running Linux, and an 8-bit Atmel ATmega microcontroller, for AVR-compatible 
control of “shield” expansion modules.



Preliminary specifications

The Arduino website lists these preliminary specifications for the Arduino TRE SBC:

    Atmel ATmega microcontroller subsystem:
        Atmel ATmega32u4 @ 16MHz
        32KB flash, 2.5KB SRAM; 1KB EEPROM
        14x DIO lines
        7x PWM outputs
        6x analog inputs
    Software — Arduino IDE and AVR Code
    Ti AM335x ARM SoC subsystem:
        TI Sitara AM3359AZCZ100 (ARM Cortex-A8) @ 1GHz
        512MB DDR3L RAM; tbd SRAM; tbd flash
        100Mbps Ethernet
        USB — 1x USB 2.0 Device port; 4x USB 2.0 Host ports
        Video — HDMI @ 1920×1080
        Audio — via HDMI; also stereo analog audio I/O
        12x GPIO (3.3V logic)
        4x PWM outputs (3.3V logic)
        1x MicroSD card slot
        LCD expansion interface
        Software — “full Linux”
    Expansion — supports standard Arduino shields
