A start-up located in the French Alps near Grenoble is readying a tiny
ARM-based Linux single-board computer (SBC) in a USB key form-factor. Calao,
based in Sant Martin le Vinoux, is also readying a tiny Linux SBC designed
to plug into QIL (quad in-line) IC sockets.

Calao's USB-9260 USB key-sized SBC measures 3.3 x 1.4 inches (85 x 36 mm).
It is based on an Atmel AT91SAM9260 processor, an SoC (system-on-chip)
powered by an ARM926EJ-S core clocked at 190MHz. The SoC targets "advanced
applications such as GPS application processors," according to Atmel.

The tiny USB key SBC has 64MB of SDRAM and 256MB of NAND flash. I/O includes
a USB 2.0 device port (obviously), a 10/100 Ethernet port, and a pair of USB
2.0 host ports. The device also has a 50-pin expansion interface, although
the company has not published the pinout, nor announced any specific
daughterboards.
