Generally I've seen most ARM boards managed via separate PDUs and serial concentrators; there are ARM systems that as I understand are built for remote management - but if you've got PDUs setup then you can control nigh on anything; and given the current draw on many of those machines it doesn't need to be expensive PDUs, simple USB driven relay setups can be sufficient (although it gets hairier if you want to control hard drive power etc).

Re: [Arm-netbook] small exynos5 pc (ARM Cortex A15, 2gb RAM)
* luke.leighton (luke.leigh...@gmail.com) wrote: [cc to arm-netbook and debian-arm, please bear in mind arm-netbook is subscriber-only] this is just to let people know that i had a fascinating conversation with insignal's director, today. insignal do the http:/arndaleboard.org/ which is the developer board containing the Exynos5 ARM Cortex A15 SoC. he mentioned that they've been madly busy getting the arndaleboard ready, working very very hard, so are going a little easier on themselves before releasing the source code etc. which kinda makes sense and explains the dec2012 release of the linux kernel source etc. but, the very interesting thing he mentioned was their plans to do a $99 PC using the same CPU Board. as it would have SATA and so on as well as 2gb of RAM i get the impression that they could well be overwhelmed with enquiries and orders, just from the free software community alone, so as a community can i please encourage people to take it easy on them and let them do the official announcements etc. so that, apart from anything, they can focus! the reason why i'm mentioning it on here, unofficially, is to gather some informal input as to whether people would be interested in such a device before contacting insignal again; what sort of features, uses etc. what would people be prepared to pay for an initial run of 100 to 200 units as a test-run, and so on. Either multiple ether or a PCI-e slot to add a multiport ether card. Bonus for multiple PCI-e slots.

We don't have any ARM server hardware yet, so we're stuck using development boards as build machines. They work, but they're a PITA for hosting and they're not designed for 24x7 usage like we're doing so they're not that reliable. As I've posted during DebConf(*), Maybe OpenBlocks can solve this problem. It has 2GB RAM, reliable production use and we can buy it NOW. *) http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2012/07/msg7.html hideki, those look superb. summarising (in case anyone's missed it): they're armv7 compatible because they're using a marvell xp processor; they're up to dual-core 1.4ghz and the company openblocks can do them with up to 3gb of RAM, and i gather the openblocks boxes have a mini pci-e port as well as gigabit ethernet. ftp://ftp.plathome.co.jp/pub/OBSAX3/Documents/OBSA_UsersGuide_1.0.0.pdf seems to be the (Japanese) user guide for it. Now, erm I don't know any Japanese at all, but there are lots of very pretty diagrams in there. But the picture on 4/24, and table 1.4 on section 6/24 shows the OBSAX3/4/x with an Armada XP, 1.33GHz dual core, 1GB SDRAM, a SODIMM that takes 1 or 2GB (more??), SATA2, Mini PCIe, 4 () GigE, eSATA, 2xUSB2, and 2xRS-232C. Very nice! Pity it says available in japan only. i'm including arm-netbooks because there may almost certainly be people on that list who would be interested in a group buy. there has been quite a bit of interest in getting hold of modular computing devices for rack-mounted server usage.
