Kali ARM on Hummingboard (Better Rasberry Pi?)

[dono_ns]

Hi Guys

I have found this board that I was unaware of previously and wondered if anyone had worked with this so far?

Board builder sites have been very complementary of the Hummingboard due to its power and extendability (new word?).

they are basically saying it's the new Rasberry Pi with more of everything...

Not sure price-wise, it is better than the RPi2. $35 versus $100 is a bit of a difference.

That said, it shouldn't be too difficult if you got one to modify the riotboard script to support the hummingboard (both are based on i.MX6 processors) and support seems to be in the mainline kernel for the hummingboard, so you'd just need to make sure you're using the correct u-boot (if it's required), and the proper dtb file(s).
