Atomwear - Micro, Modularized, Open source, Nordic based Wearable BLE project


ATOMWARE is a great and insteresting project based on Nordic BLE chipset from Giayee, aims to create an easy-to-use, expandable deveopment kit for anyone who want to start a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) project, provides a new development mode for BLE project, just like children playing with building blocks. Atomwear is an adventrous design for DIYers.



Features in Atomwear
 
It’s modular in design!
Giayee designed many micro-sized modules, including BLE MCU module, battery charger module, acceleration sensor module, baroceptor module, temperature sensor module, gyroscope module,  OLED display module, heart rate sensing module,etc.Each of  module performs one or two functions, which then can be assembled together to create a variety of cool products. The possibilities are endless!

It has a 24-pin uniform interface!
All the modules have an uniform 24-pin interface . Atomwear’s interface board has six 24-pin sockets, connected  in parallel, for your different modules.
 
It’s completely customizable!
Of the six sockets, two of them will default to be a power supply module and a BLE MCU module, as they are essential to any BLE projects.The remaining four sockets can be used to add any other functions. The only thing need to do is to design a new module with Atomwear’s uniform interface.

It’s tiny!
Battery : 20mm*10mm*3.0mm with 40mAh.
MCU board: 10mm*21mm.
Other boards: 10mm*10mm.
                    
It’s totally Open source!
Giayee will provide samples ,the demo android app and API of Atomwear for backers, and also will open all their source code to them.
 

 
Currently, Giayee has the the design for a mould and the first trial sample. They can become an actual wearable device soon. Giayee need  supporters  to fund the production of it to buy components in bulk quantities at much lower prices,as well as be able to have the Atomwear boards assembled professionally. This has a direct benefit to supporters, as you will get a more powerful Atomwear at a lower price. If anyone has any interests, please support Atomwear on kickstarter

Giayee P105 Quad-Core ARM Ubuntu/Android Mini PC, a more powerful alternative to Raspberry Pi


There is no denying the fact that Raspberry Pi has helped raise awareness of the possibilities for not only small but also inexpensive computers. But it's not powerful enough to do some CPU-heavy work, while faster options are emerging for users attracted to such board-like devices. 

Giayee P105 Quard-Core ARM Ubuntu/Android Mini PC is just a powerful alternative. Giayee P105 is based on a Quad core 1.6GHz Rockchip RK3188 SoC with integrated GPU (quad Mali-400), enabling the device to run as a server (email, file, web) and also as a media center. Although Raspberry Pi can do these things also but Giayee P105 is faster. Besides, Giayee P105 can support high-end features such as 1080P video. 

Compared with Raspberry Pi's one HDMI port, Giayee P105 supports VGA port, with 16 or 32bpp color depth, can be set up to 1920x1080 definition. The Giayee P105's three USB ports also gives it a bit more breathing room, relative to the one on BeagleBone Black. 

There are two configurations depending on which CPU ,how much RAM and on-board flash storage you want. The less expensive Giayee P105 goes for $49 and has Rockchip RK3168 Dual core ARM Cortex A9 1.2GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of flash.By comparation the BeagleBone Black revision C has a single core ARM with 1GB of RAM and 4GB of flash and is offered at $55. 

Giayee P105 will blow your doors off with high-performance specs, but it will not blow all the cash in your wallet. If you want a small low-powered, low-cost but powerful machine. Giayee P105 might be just what you are looking for. Even if you are happy with your current device, this would make a great gift or perhaps a great backup device.

Allwinner A33, World's First $4 Quad Core Tablet Processor, Now in Mass Production


After its announcement during Computex 2014, Allwinner A33 has now kicked off mass production in July. Quad-core tablets based on A33 are now available to end users worldwide in various resolutions and sizes (6.95", 7", 7.85", etc), and also come with different functions (ATV, DTV, 2G, etc), priced from $30 to $60.

Targeted at the entry-level tablet market, A33 is a quad-core processor combining four power-efficient Cortex-A7 CPUs with the proven Mali400MP2 GPU architecture. A33 includes the following features:

  • Pin-compatible with A23 dual core
  • ŸFour CortexTM-A7 CPUs and Mali400MP2 GPU
  • Ÿ1080p video playback and capture
  • ŸIntegrated MIPI DSI controller, up to 1280x800
  • ŸSmartColor display technology
  • ŸIntegrated Hi-Fi audio codec
  • ŸUltra-low power consumption
Touted as the most cost-effective quad-core processor for tablets, A33 reference pricing (with companion PMIC) is expected to be only $4.
 
Unique SmartColor Display
Intraditional color adjustment algorithms without human skin protection function, the human skin is adjusted together with other areas of an image, which makesskin look over-saturated and unnatural.
 
SmartColor, unique to Allwinner processors, is a kind of image post-processing technology used to deliver more gorgeous and eye-pleasing visual effects by enhancing image saturation and providing skin tone protection.
Note:
Image 1: Original image
Image 2: Traditional algorithms processed, without skin protection function
Image 3: SmartColor processed, with skin protection function

Robust Video Playback, Outstanding FHD Compatibility
Video processing has always been a competitive edge of Allwinner processors.  Allwinner A33 packs anew-generationvideo engine that supports 1080p@60fps video playback and capture.

Results from Antutu Video Tester, a tool released by Antutu to rapidly test the video process capability, show that tablets based on Allwinner A33consistently rateat about 500 points(higher scores indicate better video process capability). In addition, A33 tablets get over 90% passing rates (more than 90% video formats listed can be processed), while maincompetitors can only decode about 40%.

Ultra Low Power Consumption: 300 hour standby
A33 achieves low power through a balanced combination of several features: ultra energy-efficient Cortex-A7 CPU cores, an advanced fabrication process, optimized DVFS technology, and a unique Talking Standby mode that allows extremely low power consumption during voice calls.

Test results indicate that the power consumption of tablets based on A33 quad-core is lower than its quad-core competitors, and even lower than most dual cores. When usinga 4000mAh battery, tablets based on A33 can standby for more than 300 hours, equivalent to 6.5 hours of local 1080p video playback.
