PremoBoard can be controlled by any system via the USB port: it is an expansion board designed for (but not limited to) cubieboard (A10 or A20).
About me
Hi, my name is Roberto, I am from Italy. We are the PremoBoard Team and we are enthusiastic users of cubieboard, so we have developed this extension to make cubieboard more valuable.
About Premoboard
PremoBoard is a expansion board featuring the following:
- 4 USB 2.0
- 2 LAN 10/100
- 2 WIFI (OPTIONAL)
Wifi is RT5370 but can be easely replaced with other type of wireless module.
LAN and USB are managed by LAN9512/4.
What PremoBoard can be used for:
Joining a PremoBoard with a Cubieboard allows you to have a compact, powerful “network station”. Typical use can be:
- DMZ
- Proxy
- Firewall
- TOR Node
- Access Point
- Router
- etc.
Adding a HDD (2.5'' or 3.5'') extends the opportunity of use as:
- File Server (ftp/samba/NFS/etc)
- ownCloud Station
- P2P node (aMule, Bittorrent, etc)
- NAS
- etc.
Performance
You may worry about performance of PremoBoard, especially on LAN I/O: don't. On the website www.premobaord.net you can see the result of our tests.
Configuration
PremoBoard is designed to fit your need: you can connect with cubieboard side-to-side, face-to-face, back-to-back. If needed, one cubieboard can manage 2 PremoBoard at same time! Refere to "FAQ" and "gallery" pages on www.premoboard.net.
Why we need your help
The PremoBoard team is a small team and if we want to make the cost of the board go down, we must make many at a time. We need to raise enough money to make at least 100 boards. In case the requests of PremoBoard massively exceed the that number (that means less cost for production), we will do our best to scale down the price and partially refund the Indiegogo's bidders (no joke, we are serious!)
