BalloonBoard: small, powerful, embeddable SBC

Our primary product is the BalloonBoard, a 113 x 56mm processor-board, with PXA270/520Mhz, SDRAM, Flash NAND, Flash boot-ROM, programmable logic (CPLD or FPGA); for further details see Products.

BalloonBoard 3, the latest version, is the result of a collaboration between Cambridge University/MIT, Toby Churchill Ltd, iTechnic, and an assortment of Linux gurus.

BalloonBoards are ready-to-embed, having powerful I/O capabilities, small footprint, low power-consumption and a notable absence of clunky connectors. There are 5 miniature connectors including full-speed USB (1.0, host and slave).

The BalloonBoard is available in:

  • 2 programmable logic configurations: CPLD or FPGA.
  • 3 build-configurations: single-sided (rear side unpopulated); fully-populated; or custom.

Open Hardware Design

The BalloonBoard is an Open Hardware design, which means we are happy give you the circuit diagrams and parts-lists to enable you to DIY.
