Intrinsyc unveiled an Android 5.0 dev platform for the Snapdragon 810 SoC

Intrinsyc Technologies has released three Android 5.0 development platforms, as well as a computer-on-module, supporting the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 system-on-chip:

• Open-Q 8094 System on Module (SOM) — Snapdragon 810 with 4GB of DDR4 RAM and up to 16GB eMMC 5.0, on a tiny SODIMM-style card
• DragonBoard for Snapdragon 810 — carrier board, equipped with the Open-Q 8094 SOM and adding wireless and I/O features, as well as the first commercial implementation of close proximity TransferJet technology (described farther below)
• Smartphone Mobile Development Platform (“MDP Smartphone”) for Snapdragon 810 — 6.2-inch Quad HD display with 490 pixels per inch (ppi), 4GB DDR4, 32GB storage, etc.
• Tablet Mobile Development Platform (“MDP Tablet”) for Snapdragon 810 — 10.1-inch Ultra HD 4K (3840 × 2160) screen with 4GB DDR4, 64GB storage, etc.

Programming AVR Microcontrollers in C - O'Reilly Webcast

Originally recorded March 18, 2014. In this webcast, we'll dive straight into the deep end. I'll show you what you need to get started programming the AVR ATMega (and ATTiny) series microcontrollers, give you an overview of their built-in peripherals, and demonstrate most of the important functionality. And while the focus of this webcast is on Atmel's AVR series, nearly everything you'll learn here is transferable to other microcontrollers. 

Elliot Williams is a Ph.D. in Economics, a former government statistician, and a lifelong electronics hacker. He taught himself to program microcontrollers long before there was any such thing as an Arduino, and loves to spread the knowledge. Most recently, he is author of the Maker Media book "Make: AVR Programming, Learning to Write Software for Hardware", which is chock full of microcontroller-programming tidbits and thick enough to stun a rhino.
