Hi,
Can you provide a link or a quote for this ? I am quite surprised too.
I know Olimex for I own several smaller ?C boards from them and appreciate their products, but I cannot imagine such amounts of sales for this board.
As far as indivuals are concerned, there are (very roughly) 500 posts on Olimex A10 forum, whereas there are almost 500 thousands posts on Raspberry forum.
And as far as companies are concerned, I cannot imagine any company making a mass product (in the million range!) with this board (or any board). AFAIK, a quick redesign is always needed: add this port, remove those ports, modify the shape of the board, change the position of these connectors... and save the cost of the benefit of the original dev board maker (times n.106).
