Hi Enrich,

Hardware for "parrot", Nothing in particular, just any Linux box.

To keep the power use down, I use a Raspberry Pi clone.

I use Fedora linux as, for the ARM processor they have made their distribution

almost hardware independent. There are two steps in making a bootable SD card

simples. Supports about 50 boards with one SD card image file.

On the audio side I use a Behringer UCA202 USB device. That's because it has RCA

line output connectors to which goes to my home-brew isolation box to my FT-450

transceiver.

Any audio port device supported by Linux will do, must do 48000 samplerate.

For PTT I use a PL2303 USB serial adapter to supply DTR to the above isolation 
box's

opto-coupler.

In the code there's provision to use a Pi GPIO port.

Pi considerations

=============

Since my Pi is a development box, it MUST have a good Hard Disk.

So I'd pick a board with a High Speed Disk Interface and migrate

the root filesystem onto that disk, off the SD card.

SSDs are cheap and available and low power. That's what I use, a 128Gb.

It's constantly writing log files and audio files and, I download the latest

SVN code, compile and run, this way I help our developers by running,

real time, their code.
