I had some free time and money on my hands and managed to get these from
NextThingCo during their completed Kickstarter Campaign:
My C.H.I.P
My PocketC.H.I.P
Operating System:
- Debian Linux
Installed Software for my Project:
- hostapd ( WiFi Access Point )
- OpenVPN ( Security )
- Tor ( Security )
- oathtool ( Two Factor/Multi-Factor Authentication )
Highlighted Hardware Capabilities:
- Boots from internal flash ( no sdcard required )
- Dual WiFi ( wlan0 and wlan1 )
- Bluetooth
- Can be managed with minicom or screen using a standard mini-USB cable
For the record I have 3 C.H.I.P units and one PocketC.H.I.P purchased during the KickStarter so my costs were a little higher than what you are seeing here.
Lets break this down in current costs from their site:
- ChipPC - $9
- Chip Case - $2
- Battery ( LiON 3.7v ) - $5
- Composite Cable - $5
- A complete Linux System with a dedicated WiFi AP with built in VPN with Tor I can run in my pocket ( Priceless!)
Happy New Year and Happy Hacking!
