"media" to me implies sound, still pics and video, and TV tuner. Very few of the low-power CPUs will have the gumption to compress or even play video. You'd be better off looking at a board with a VIA CPU, or even a full-blown modern CPU.
As for software, mythtv and friends can be useful. -----Original Message----- From: G Chinnery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 21 June 2005 9:33 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Embedded Linux Hi list. I consider myself a linux newbie still, so would like pointers to information on a project I am considering trying. My idea is a dedicated audio visual setup on an embedded device with a modified version of linux as its O/S. I have seen versions of what I am thinking but it has a MS O/S as its base and I not interested in going that way. I know that the linux O/S will have to be stripped and modified to work so will need help there but I just looking at feasibility at the moment before even starting. The basic system would be a solid-state device with external devices attached. I.E. Hard drive, cameras and some kind of interface to a sound system. Any help with pointers to sites along these lines would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Graeme.
