From the project
Breadboard-able Cortex A7 dev board
A very small, 32mm x 30mm, ARM Cortex A7 development board that costs about ~$10 to make in low quantities and can be assembled at home with a cheap hot air rework station. With a small adapter socket it can be mounted vertically in a standard breadboard.
The breadbee is based on a relatively unknown IP camera SoC, the MSC313E, from a company called MStar (now part of MediaTek as a subsidiary called SigmaStar). You might have never heard of MStar but you probably have one of their chips in your TV.
