For anybody interested in avionics, what sets this board apart from others is the inclusion of a 3-axis magnetometer and a 3-axis gyro, in addition to a now common 3-axis accelerometer.



Of course, a real inertial navigation or autopilot system would more likely locate these sensors in a separate pod, away from EMI sources, ferrous materials, power delivery circuits, etc., but having them ready "out of the box" simplifies development.

It is a cool booard, but an issue is the CPU. It is from ST-Ericsson, and is *may* be available for the next three years according to Björn Ekelund, one of the key managers at ST-Ericsson, speaking at the Android day in Stockholm. Based on the reaction from the audience, they may of course reconsider - I hope so...
