It's people like you who actually "get us there" at end, and it's good to know that possible ways are being searched for. appreciated the encouragement misha. the plan involves bootstrapping the way up from low-level beginnings all the way up to mass-volume products. the pieces are falling into place, and it's through other people helping to find things (like gordon finding that ztsystems server, which leads to phytec) that it will get there quicker. http://www.phytec.com/news/ZT-Systems-R1801e-Server.html > Unfortunately, I'm not a hardware hacker. But, as a consumer, I'd say that a "1gb NAND Flash" is quite a bit below the level. I also wouldn't care much about a 1280x720 screen if the hardware wouldn't be capable of playing the video flawlessly. Or, if there was an HDMI port to connect to TV, which is, in my taste, better suited for watching. yep - all the designs i've worked on, and all the CPUs found (so far) were selected precisely because of the HDMI output capability. i'd kinda ruled out the spea1310 because you need an extra IC converting LCD to DVI/HDMI or even *shudder* a PCI-e graphics IC (volari Z11 god help us is about the only free-software-compatible option) gordon is right about the SD/MMC card thing, but the "level 10" ones can at least guarantee above 10mbytes/sec *read* capability. so _yes_ to the SATA interface. > The gorgeously-looking Efika MX would fit me almost perfectly if not the soon-deprecating A8 CPU and the plans for a dual-core solution with faster RAM. this has been answered very well by others. l. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
