Uh - no.
That “mini linux computer” is no deal compared to a Raspberry Pi. Maybe if it were HALF that price, it might be worth it.
A very nice tiny computer
I have both the VoCore unit shown here as well as one with a larger breakout.
This is actually a 5 port wireless router chip. With the other breakout board (mentioned in VoCore) docs, it is a really interesting board to have, since it breaks out 4 nics total as well as the wireless.
You can use it with openwrt firmware, or build your own apps to load across.
There are other mips boards that you can get, but this one is well constructed.
I’m in the market for 2 more of the base boards for the expansion board I have before these go away.
Also worth mentioning these are in the grey area which may be slapped down by misguided FCC regulations which will “seal’ up router firmware. That must be stopped for the stupid and misguided idea it is.
As stupid for hardware as the calls for “backdoors” are for encryption.
