Ordered a few myself. I've been playing around with OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi lately and this looks like it might be a cleaner way to go for specific projects.

Anyone knows why this doesn't use OpenCV under the hood? Was it too big to fit on the board or doesn't it build?

My guess is that trying to get opencv to run in a memory constrained processor like the SMT32F4xx family is probably impossible.
