Kirk, >> I have had trouble getting Linux to run on my C3 ITX board, but that was quite a while ago. I would be interested in knowing if anyone has gotten EMC2 or Linux to run on one of these. It would make a nice low power router/gateway or EMC2 remote. <<
I have had good success using the Via C7 mini-itx boards (see: http://www.mini-box.com/Hybrid-C7-1-5G?sc=8&category=99). The main problem I had was between some power supplies and the IDE Flash module (4 GB) I was using. Changing either the power supply or the flash module has remedied the problem. I talked to the PS manufacturer, and the problem seems to be with the rise time of the 5V (IDE bus) relative to the 12V which powers the flash module. The result was that the system did not boot reliably. The PS manufacturer suggested putting a cap on the 5V (I tried once without success), but changing to a different flash module fixed the problem for me, so I have not re-investigated. I use a riser card for the Mesa 5i20 board. The first enclosure I used was from mini-box, but the Mesa board did not mount very well, so I went to a Travla enclosure which does a better job of accommodating the Mesa board and comes with panel mount brackets. I was also able to get EMC to run under the smaller footprint Xubuntu on this board. Real simple actually, all that was really required was to run the install script manually.
