Low end embedded CPUs don't have a MMU so they run ucLinux instead of full Linux. It is difficult to program on these systems and you will need a JTAG. Probably not good for a first embedded system.
Efika is a much easier system to get started on. http://www.bplan-gmbh.de/efika_spec_en.html It is $99. Based on the Freescale MPC5200B - PowerPC with MMU and FPU. There is AC97 audio on the board. It has a PCI slot so that you can add a video card or build your own audio hardware. You have to provide a standard PC power supply. Any old one will do, the Ekifa needs hardly any power. For $300 there is a version in a case with power supply and video card. It is very small and silent. It's $300 because it uses an expensive power supply that is fanless. Google around for Ekifa, lots of hackers have made mods to them. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-dev
