I'm in the process of selecting a single-board computer (SBC) for a
project and I'd like to hear what others are using sucessfully. My
requirements for the SBC are:
1) Low cost (<$100)
2) Runs Linux
3) Has an Ethernet and USB host connection
4) Has sufficient storage capacity to run an small HTTP server such as
mini httpd and a few MB left over for custom applications
5) Mechanical packaging suitable for a server room environment
6) Processing capacity requirement is not very large, low-power processor okay
I previously assumed that I would use the Gumstix Vertex-Pro boards,
but cost is a limiting factor on this project and precludes using
these boards.
What low-cost SBCs has the Linux Embedded community used with success?
Might not be what you are looking for, but I've been buying up the first
generation of EEE PCs to use as a controller for some robots.
The EEE PC 4G model gives you Wifi, Ethernet, 3x USB host, SD card,
keyboard, webcam, LCD screen, audio in, audio out. Old models only cost
a couple hundred $ (depending on your currency).
There's nothing like having a screen and keyboard on an embedded Linux
machine to make your life that little bit easier.
