AFEB is a self-contained computer, assembled on a single printed circuit board that includes microprocessor, memory, system of input-output and other modules necessary for the functioning of the computer. The range of use of such devices is quite extensive, single-board computers are made as demonstration systems for developers or education, or for use as an industrial or embedded computers.

The goal of the project is the creation of open software and hardware computing platforms aimed to teach the design of computer systems, or to use them as basic platforms for commercial development.

Among the advantages of AFEB it is worth mentioning its compactness, low energy consumption, versatility and low cost.
