## What it is
OLinuXino is a family of fully open-source, open-hardware (OSHW certified) industrial-grade ARM single board computers from Olimex, with public hardware designs and Linux OS images (Olimage). This repository hosts documentation, hardware design files, and software support for the board series.

## Use cases
- build an industrial embedded Linux system on open hardware
- run Linux on a low-cost ARM single board computer
- prototype IoT devices with GPIO and I2C access
- deploy a rugged SBC in -40 to +85C environments
- customize open-source hardware designs for a custom board
- learn embedded Linux development on ARM boards

## When to choose
- you need open-source hardware with publicly available schematics and OSHW certification
- you need industrial temperature range and reliability for automation or control systems
- you want a low-cost, customizable ARM Linux board with mainline OS image support

## When to avoid
- you need high-performance computing or GPU workloads beyond what small ARM SBCs offer
- you require vendor warranty and closed-source support ecosystems
- you need a plug-and-play consumer product rather than a developer/hobbyist board
