ARMed and dangerous

ARM ❤ node.js

A lot of things have happened since…

Binary distributions

Your go-to IoT workhorse

the Raspberry Pi 3

  • Finally wifi! Bluetooth, even!!
  • Blazing-fast 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A53

Getting node to Pi

BOOORING…!

Something for the ©HIPSTERS!

CHIP

PocketCHIP

Wifi! Touchscreen! Keyboard! Debian Linux! Battery! GPIO ports!

Hands-on…

One more thing…

Tessel

But Dude, this is MIPS

Why are we talking about the Tessel 2?

580MHz MediaTek MT7620N MIPS24KEc, 64MB RAM, built-in wireless

High-level hardware APIs…

easier/built-in networking and wifi handling coprocessor for direct GPIO access access point mode

…for everyday inventors

So where to go from here?

GO BIG!

Personal datacenter at ARMs length

Pi Zero Cluster

Compute Module 3

Flat-packed Raspberry Pi 3 - BCM2837 1.2GHz, quad-core, 1GB RAM, 4GB flash

Compute Module 3 Cluster

That’s ~$1.4K for forty 1.2Ghz 64-Bit ARM Cortex-A53 cores!

That’s TWO personal datacenters
for the price of a MBP!

…or go small

ARM mbed
