Thanks for the offer...
But it's not that hard when you have something to go from

The screen was simple as the manufacturer shared the PCB and SCH files. Adding the SAM3X processor and was just as simple as Arduino is open source and PCB and SCH files are available on their site. So it went together quite quickly. Since my original Screen is using the RAIO RA8875 thought its a good fit as its fast enough to drive a larger LCD as well as its quite capable. I did however wanted a sharper display and that rules out the old resistive touch panels and opted for the better capacitive ones.

I do have to be honest and say that the idea of the Intel Edison has crossed my mind specially with Android as an option...

The Breakout box is a bit different story...
that is still a mess and slowly working on it

I'm still curious how many would like the option of dual band wireless and BT-LE on the display side...
