Hi Experts,
Can I get some cheap development platforms based on ARM to test the Android - 5.0 Lollipop ?
I previously used Begale Bone Black for testing the Android 4.4.4 Kitkat.
DragonBoard™ 410c - 96Boards supplies are a bit tight at the moment but it says their available now. I'm still waiting on mine but it is probably your best option at the moment.
HiKey - 96Boards are available for pre-order. The next batch will likely ship this summer. I can probably thump some colleagues at Linaro to give theres up for emergent needs.
Sorry I don't have a better answer for you at the moment but I'll ask around a bit more. It appears that if you need a dev board with eMMC and Lollipop, beyond 96Boards, unofficial ports are likely the best solution if you absolutely need it today. It looks like someone has CM 12 running on an Odroid: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=9316
I'm sure as soon as I post this answer, there will be a flood of DragonBoards.
Thanks Matthey. Great to know this stuff.
Hi Matthew,
How about IMX series from Freescale ?
They also seems to support Android V5.

Interesting, I learned something new. Sorry I don't, yet, have expirience with their Dev Boards with L. I see the L BSPs; here: Android OS for i.MX Applications Processors|Freescale. The eval boards seem to be a bit pricey. Did you find one that met your needs on cost and version support? I'm game to get one and check it out.
The Freescale EVM looks ok whereas price is bit high to afford.
Also certain TI has some releases like omappedia.org/wiki/6AL.1.1_Release_Notes and Beagle Board x15 also supports it.
Wat do you think about this ?
