Are there any good single board computers developed/produced in EU or Europe? Something like Raspberry Pi.

The Raspberry Pi foundation is headquartered in Cambridge, UK.

Not sure if you are looking for a Pi replacement specficially, but if your goal is only to buy European, the Raspberry Pi already has you covered

They are also manufactured in the UK.

I thought this community was "buy from EU"

OP's question is for "single board computers developed or produced in the EU or Europe" though

[–] YUART@feddit.org 9 points 2 months ago

You are correct, but unfortunately it's rare that you can find anything good related to IT/hardware strictly in EU (like smartphones). UK, while not in EU, still closer to it than US/China.

Yes, it's named buy from EU. But when there are no replacements for something, you can always choose to buy from a company based in a democratic nation.

I would see it like a gradient.

When there is nothing in the Eu-27 that you want, look in other european states. If you still are not satisfied look for it in other democratic nations like South Korea or Japan. And if that doesnt cover your needs you're probably forced to rely on China or the US. Or you don't buy it.

Oh, you are right. I always thought Raspberry Pi is American :/

I had the same experience with Spotify recently, but apparently they are Swedish.
There is low-key quite a few large European tech companies that are easily assumed to be American.

Company registered in Luxembourg, operational HQ in Stockholm

Why do you want to avoid the Raspberry Pi?

Udoo is Italian and OLinuXino is Bulgarian.

[–] YUART@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

I thought Raspberry is American company. Thanks you for sharing info about Udoo and OLinuXino, appreciated

Yes

Why ask a silly question in the title?
