The Snowball is a Nano-ITX-form factor single-board computer using the NovaThor A9500.[1]

The Linux-based mobile operating system Tizen was ported to Snowball in early 2012.[2]

The Snowball had a public support site at igloocommunity.org,[3] but since support for the board has been withdrawn, the tools are archived at GitHub: [1]

One of the many builds released by Linaro is located here This is build: 13.05 (May 2013). At the link are the binaries that were built, the instructions for using the binaries and instructions for building everything from source.
