Diskio Pi is not just a tablet, it's a versatile touch screen with a lot of capabilities. Looking to appeal to makers from all stripes, Diskio Pi will be compatible with Raspberry Pi 2 and ODROID XU4. Future releases will have support for others boards like Banana Pi, Banana Pi M2 and M3, But the main aim for this prototype tablet lies in home automation, multimedia and educational purposes.

The prototype tablet can run Android 4.4 or Debian. However, any Linux distribution that is compatible with the motherboard of Raspberry Pi or ODROID can be installed.


A prototype model with 17 inch screen running Linux can be used as a desktop replacement. All you need is and wireless keyboard/mouse combo and WiFi dongle. Like any laptop the tablet comes with five LED's to indicate the amount of charge left. It comes with three external and one internal USB ports for connecting the WiFi dongle, the keyboard / mouse and other accessories that you would need for everyday computing requirements. SATA port is also included in the rear side of the tablet.


Coming to the maker part it supports integration of various DIY modules like Gyroscope, Temperature sensor, Light sensor....etc). You can even interface the official Raspberry Pi camera module with this tablet.

Compatibility with Arduino is also planned for future releases.
For home automation users, a wall bracket and POE + power is also included for easy integration,


As of now, the project is not yet funded, but many indicators show that the demand is there, especially in the community of free home automation sector.

The project leader, Guillaume, is looking forward to your feedback survey, which is currently available at: http://goo.gl/forms/6GvKsm5OtL
