Cubietruck talk (by Cubieboard creators)

Cubieteam team developed the first open-source-hardware product back in August 2012. During 2012 and early 2013, the team did not introduce a single product. But one of the developers of the Cubieteam team, said that the project has already reached a new technological level comparable to industrial solutions. This is not the small project designed specifically for technology lovers. We have made a massive product for the market, which is distributed by large suppliers.

Each step of the Cubieteam team is very complex and difficult, but the team is very pleased with the success. Cubieteam is a small team, with several young people who have no business experience, company management skills, but very much like modern technology. The Cubieteam team is united by a common dream: "Creating a cheap mini-computer and sharing technology with geeks from around the world."
It was a big surprise for us when we received more than $ 90,000 for the start of production of Cubieboard. We received this money from enthusiasts, friends, and those who want to receive the treasured payment, by prepayment. Over the past year, many people contacted us to change the product, which made the manufacture of the product is not an easy thing. The Cubieteam team is limited in its ability to do more projects, but does not want to disappoint fans, and despite all the difficulties continues to work.
Embedded solution technologies are improved every year (embedded SOCs). We are proud to be at the peak of modern technology. And based on the suggestions in the forums, from customers, the Cubieteam team decided to develop a second open-source hardware product. This is another PCB board model called CubieTruck.
