I'm not a computer scientist, but can someone explain to me how this can be a computer without all the other bits you normally associate with it other than the CPU. I.e. a chip for interfaces, the mmu/fpu (I don't understand how you can get the cpu to cover this role?). I can see it doesn't have/need sound/gpu. Just would have thought more would be needed!

Okay but what everybody skipped is explaining why would you need a business card running Linux. I mean, except for showing off to fellow nerds.
Next goal: business card with edge HDMI connector, so you don't need to compromise your computer security.
I was so excited for the ATSAMD21 series when I first came across it maybe five or six years ago, because on paper it had most of everything I was looking for while remaining approachable for single-man dev teams and home(lab) assembly. Like OP, I found it extremely difficult to successfully use in practice, and have since then migrated to STMicroelectronics' offerings (STM32 MCUs, available in a huge range that incl…
didn't go for ARM emulation cause i've already done that :) http://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=07.%20Linux%20on%208bit

Infosec folks should live a little. You can have more than one computer and not everyone is a head of state.
Not in the context of this project: Please don't dismiss this so easily. You don't need to be the head of anything to take security seriously. Regardless of who you are or what you do, everybody has secrets they should protect. And I mean secrets not only in the "human" sense (what you like/dislike), but also technical (credentials and so on). Losing say, your bank account because you plugged in a USB can be devastat…

Well, it would be if anyone cared about PGP.

Of course, the software on this card is perhaps more impressive than mine. All I did was patch the kernel and make an image. This card does all that and emulate a processor.
I was greatly entertained by the description of the DMA. I am unsure why DMA always ends up being the boogeyman, but I don't disagree.

I mean, you never know when you'll want to recompile a kernel in a hurry, or drop to a terminal for a quick ssh into your servers
