Does someone know what is this board?

I'm quite sure it is an embedded Linux board. Do you know the manufacturer?

Whatever it is, it's red, and it's a view of the back side. IIRC, Olimex used that color of solder mask for a while -- look on their website? Did you blank off the bottom center, where one might expect a board name? Or was that someone else? -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com I'm looking for work -- see my website!

I do like a Name That Ware challenge :)

It's an Allwinner board - probably A10, A13 or A20. The giveaway was the IPSOUT signal, which connects to the AXP209 power chip. The BGA escapes and DRAM layout look similar to Olimex's A20 board: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXIno-LIME2/open-source-hardware so I would guess it's a non-Olimex A20 board. From someone in the Chinese A20 ecosystem? Theo
