Different OLinuXino boards use processors from different manufacturers – Allwinner, Freescale, etc. OLinuXino boards are completely open source and you have access to all the CAD files and sources and you can reuse them for your own personal or commercial projects. This brings security to your business, you own everything and have control. There are NO restrictions for manufacturing and selling our designs or boards in your own applications.
OLIMEX had an open-source hardware month event too!
OLIMEX made an open-source laptop. TERES-I is do it yourself (DIY) free open-source hardware (FOSH) and free open-source software (FOSS) laptop kit. Ready-to-assemble using the instructions provided. KiCAD FOSS software is used to design all the hardware, schematics and board files available on their GitHub pages.
And recently, OLIMEX started worked on a new IP Camera OSHW board.
