The ODROID's look rather intriguing, but if you dig deeper and have an idea what you're looking for. They're lacking in many departments. Mostly, they're not open sourced, and despite looking around a while a few times. I've yet to determine whether they have a decent BSP or not. Not to mention that their IO capabilities are rather limited / far less than say any of the beagle hardware. Which if needed, that is very important. Then, TI processors are the only ones available with PRU's, for "software definable" hardware - As far as I know anyhow.
These boards *are* rather interesting in that they could serve as a "build system" for just about any ARMv7 SBC, but . . .AFAIK, the rPI group ( community ) could not find a way in software to disable the on die GPU, thus the rPI's lose X amount of the on board memory to the GPU. Even if you wish to use it or not. So, since the new board uses the same GPU . . . let us hope this problem is / has been resolved. Now for anyone who does not already know . . . I use Windows daily for multiple purposes on my own personal systems, and am very happy with it. So when i say that Windows has no place in the embedded market space ( at least in this context ). You all can know where I am coming from. Passed that, yes of course MS is not stupid and is not going to let you, I, or any other average non partner Joe in a commercial application without probably a very hefty fee. So, if you think you're going to be able to use the rPI2 with Windows on it in this capacity . . . you're in for a very rude awakening. With that said. I very seriously doubt MS is scared about anything concerning the embedded market. They're just doing what any software company would / should do in their shoes. Granted they have a very poor track record outside of the x86 arena . . . but yeah. There was CE, and every version of Windows from XP on had an embedded version. All revolving around x86, and guess what ? You can not hardly go into any retail store in the US, and not use a Windows system when you check out. Via self, or cashier . . .
