Intel follows the example set by the Raspberry Pi and launches a similar stripped-down open source PC-- the Minnowboard, essentially an x86-based PC motherboard with a caseless design.
Reportedly the first open source PC with an Intel x86 processor, the Minnowboard development kit is based on Via Technologies processors. The board includes a 1GHz Intel Atom E640 processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM, HDMI port, ethernet, USB ports and microSD slot.
The Minnowboard design measures 10.16cm-square, and its board schematics and design files are freely available under a Creative Commons license.
