Based on DMP's Vortex processor / SoC this board is a full computer capable of running a standard Windows and Linux installation on the backpack of your robot.

Anyone know if this is fixable or even covered by warranty?

I just applied power from an AC/DC adapter. I suspect it may have been a polarity issue. I've since tried applying power from 4 AA batteries...the burnt component just heats up...no response from the board.
