1. Introduction

Traditional programming training for software application development is carried out on conventional PCs (laptop or desktop) costing hundreds of euros. On the other hand, developing applications for home automation, robotics or prototyping embedded systems involves programming interfaces to receive information from sensors or control actuators. This is the simplest example, as the external components are varied in nature and complexity. Training involving IT, electronics and hardware components of various kinds (vision, radio, motors, communication protocols, etc.) requires specific platforms. Widespread use for training purposes, whether for students or hobbyists, requires low costs - far lower than the price of PCs or smartphones. The basic component of these platforms is a nano-computer, usually without a keyboard or screen. Data is stored on an external system. Figure
