F200/R200 with an on-board-computer

[FLeac]

Hello everyone! I was thinking at making a portable 3D scanner using one or those cameras with an on-board-computer, something like the kinect-raspberry in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMXKp98BY-w . Anyway since RealSense SDK requires windows 8.1 and high hardware requisites I am in trouble! Almost any on-board-computers use ARM processors so they are not compatible with Windows and/or doesn't feet the minimum requirements asked.. for example the new raspberry pi 2 runs windows but isn't powerful enough and this http://cubieboard.org/ has the opposite problem!! (btw I saw the intel NUC serie, but they cost 300/350 + RAM + HDD). Does anyone know any on-board-computer that could run this?

Let me dispel the myth. The Raspberry Pi 2 does not run Windows as you might think.  It runs Windows IoT Core which does not have a windowed GUI and the display output is used for system configuration. 

The Minnowboard Max is a Bay Trail Atom based board which has USB3, HDMI, Ethernet etc. and costs USD 139.  However the SDK requires iCore CPU although there is mention of Cherry Trail atoms and Core M on R200 page.

I think the most problematic requirement is USB3, which eliminates most cheap boards like the raspberry pi.

The best embedded board to use with this camera in my opinion is the excellent NVidia Jetson TK1, which has USB3, and a lot of processing power.

Except it is ARM based, can't run Windows and definitely won't be supported by the SDK.  It is also nearly twice the price of the Minnowboard Max which is an Intel designed board.
