The Raspberry Pi
<http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/12/10-raspberry-pi-creat
ions-that-show-how-amazing-the-tiny-pc-can-be/>  is all the rage for
hobbyists in search of cheap, credit card-sized computers that can run a
full PC operating system. Arduino boards <http://www.arduino.cc/>  have been
around nearly a decade, meanwhile, powering robots and all sorts of other
creative electronics projects.

Now, a project called UDOO ("you do") seeks to bring the best elements of
Raspberry Pi and Arduino together into a single mini-PC that can run either
Android or Linux.

"With UDOO, we want to combine the winning characteristics of Arduino and
Raspberry Pi in one single board. The simplicity of Arduino in managing
sensors, combined with the flexibility of a microcomputer based on ARM are
integrated in UDOO, giving you a powerful prototyping board able to run
Linux or Android," UDOO project coordinator Bruno Sinopli, a Carnegie Mellon
professor in electrical and computer engineering, said in a video on UDOO's
Kickstarter page
