Alternatives to Raspberry Pi for Digital Library for Remote Schools

Hi All

We have developed firmware and documentation for the Digital Library project which can run on a number of small wifi devices, including the SEEEDuino Cloud board
(https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeeduino-Cloud-Arduino-Yun-compatible-openWRT-controller-p-2123.html)

The Digital Library can support up to 128GB SD/USB memory devices to hold library content, and will allow you to connect 30+ WiFi client devices, enough to serve a typical classroom.

You can use whatever library content you wish stored on a USB/SD memory device.

We have developed a ‘starter’ library of content from the OER2GO.org website. This includes Wikipedia for Schools, Khan Academy, PHET, Siyavula, CK-12 Textbooks, Gutenberg Project, OLE Nepal, Maps of the World, MedlinePlus / Hesperian / Khan Academy Health and Medicine, and Sugarizer Graphical Learning Environment. This library is 40GB in size.

Documentation is available for download here:

Firmware is available for download here:

Please try it out and let us know what you think.
