Look at these websites, and explain:
- What is a UDOO board used for?
- Why is this electronic product so attractive nowadays? (Find out if it's a good value for
money, and give your opinion.)

2. A powerful card
a) Link the words to the figure parts:

SD Card Slot 7 – 16V DC Power Input

Jack
Reset switch
GPIO Headers
Power switch

WIFI Module

HDMI Video Port DSI Display Connector

Ethernet Socket Status LEDs

2x USB 2.0 Port 5V SATA Power

connector
Audio Output Jack Connector
SATA Port
Microphone Input Jack Connector

b) Explain what LED, DC, SD, HDMI, USB, SATA, GPIO, WIFI, mean.
 3. Getting started with UDOO
Regarding the different starter guides on the web,
“UDOO_connectivity_walkthrough.MP4” and “UDOO Linux
Ubuntu boot walkthrough.MP4” videos included in 'Getting
started with UDOO' folder, build your own beginner's guide
explaining each necessary step from start to shutdown!

4. Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, Orange Pi, Tinker Board, BeagleBone,

Galileo, ODROID, UDOO,... alternatives

First of all, you are a UDOO team member! So:

a) Find out valuable projects and tutorials made with UDOO on the Web, and save screen
pictures of them. You have to be able to convince new consumers to create a real UDOO
community.

b) Make sure that your team will become number one! Regarding the competitive products,
search criteria (voltage, current, speed, abilities, options, etc.…) and make a comparison
with 3 alternative solutions. Of course, build your comparison so as to create a real interest
for UDOO.

c) Now it's time for competition.... You'll meet competitors. (Assessment time!)
The previous activities have been done to give you arguments to win a match!
Show and explain all the abilities of your product, and suggest why your UDOO board
will be the best one in the future applications for new projects!
