Hello,
I have a data logging application and I need some hardware can support
the following requirements.
* 1 USB port to collect data from a USB device.
* 1 network interface (Ethernet and/or WLAN).
* https service to retrieve the data over the Internet, and/or push
data to a server on the Internet.
* Low Power
Ideally the hardware platform would be a commodity item that is readily
available and cost under US$100 (under US$50 preferable).
I came across OpenWrt and it seems suitable for what I need, but most of
the supported hardware are routers with multiple LAN ports, 802.11n, and
USB, which is probably overkill for my application.
I was wondering if OpenWrt will work on some of the smaller print server
type devices, with one USB port, one LAN and/or WAN interface.
Here some examples (from an Australian electronics search engine).

1a) Does anyone know if these devices have the resources to run a Linux
OS ??
1b) Would OpenWrt be a suitable Linux distribution, or would some other
distro be more suited for my needs (given I don't actually need routing
functionality).
2) If resources are two low, I guess some other non-linux OS such as
FreeRTOS or RTEMS might be suitable ??
Thanks for any info or pointers.
Brendan.
