Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi | An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!
I just want people to know that there is a credit card size computer out there that could be used in our cars to run Link or store music on it and so on

Link runs off your ECU, which makes me wonder how one would plug 3 harness connecters into a credit card...

I meant to say log and tune LINK (my bad, I don't have LINK yet) without needing a laptop, with this little unit one could build a CARPUTER

Thats only if the Link will run on an ARM kernel? I imagien drivers may be troublesome, but its a cool idea. I looked into one of these for a carputer, but I'm still partial to x86/x64.

yeah I did not give that a thought DAMN

Reviving this... it’s 2019 and raspberry pi and other miniature computers are readily available with USB interface, Wifi, Bluetooth etc. is anyone running the link interface from a small form factor pc and displaying it on a touchscreen in the dash?

I’m not really at this point in my build yet but I plan to delete my radio and 3D print a bezel for a touchscreen and hopefully run link software via a raspberry pi but even if it’s a standard laptop tucked under the seat mirroring the built in display I’ll consider it a win.

Let me know if you’ve tested any similar setups out and what success/failures you experienced along the way.

I have been considering this.. a pi 3 with one of those 1024x600 tft touchscreens made for pi, as they have mounting standoffs on the back, and a 5v buck power supply of my own design (made with quality components)..
I just havent brought myself to spend the cash when I have a laptop that does work.. just less convenient.
I have spent enough time fighting with link on x64 ubuntu to know what needs to be done..

There's going to be a product for sale soon by John Freund:

- If you do in fact get around to it please let me know, I'd love hear about it!

Thanks for the link. I'm definitely going to follow this!

This is a rather new thread about the pi's. Whats the status? I have a working setup.
