A community called “MozOpenHard Prject” of Mozilla Factory is developing a Firefox OS based developer board and WebAPIs for hardware (I2C and GPIO) control: Chirimen.

Currently you cannot purchase this board, it is still under development and the price is targeting less than USD50.

The hardware specs are:

• SoC RK3066 (Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, ARMv7 architecture, clocked up to 1.6 GHz)
• DDR3 1GB RAM
• NAND Flash 1GB
• 1 MicroSD slot
• Video micro HDMI female
• Dimension 80 mm x 48 mm
• USB microUSB x 1 (OTG) , USB x 1 , microUSB x 1 (UART debug)

• GPIO >1 (configurable)
• I2C 2
• UART 2
• SPI 2
• Audio analog stereo IN x 1 / OUT x 1
• PWM 1
• Analog IN x 1

Mozilla will share openly the firmware code, board design, manufacturing process, API spec, and all necessary sources.

Stay tuned!
