The ClockworkPi DevTerm is a Linux-capable modular personal computer built by Clockwork Tech using open-source hardware. Following the strengths of the GameShell that preceded it, it offers a highly configurable form factor that is purpose built for its use case of hobby electronics and software development. It went on sale for pre-order in June 2021, and orders are expected to ship as early as July 2021.
