Re: [Emc-users] Mini-itx Control

2008-05-31 Thread Klemen Dovrtel
I tested emc2 on Intel Little Valley 2. There are some (known) problem with   
integrated graphical card, it is not very well supported under ubuntu. The 
latency test of emc2 showed no errors.

I've run EMC and real time on C3 sorts of processors almost as long as
I've been running EMC.  I was doing it when Yodakin and FMS was saying
you couldn't.  If I remember IBM owned em way back then.  

My jetway MiniITX Via 1G board holds a record for one of the smallest
jitter numbers listed on the wiki.  That is with the onboard display.

Both true.  I get around the single PCI slot by adding a dual riser card
but if I populate that slot with a Mesa I can build up a pretty
impressive system in a pretty small space.  

As for cheap, I'm as much into it as the next person but I also like
some stability over time and Jetway assured me that there were four more
years of the board I've got.  Try that with a "consumer" board.  I've
got two "identical" boxes built the same week with different versions of
mobo.

I use mini-itx boards all the time to run EMC2. I particularly like the
JetWay boards:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813153062

These use the C7 processor. And I wouldn't even try to run with anything
less than DDR2 memory capability.

Thanks,

Kirk,

>> I have had trouble getting Linux to run on my C3 ITX board, but that was
quite a while ago. I would be interested in knowing if anyone has gotten
EMC2 or Linux to run on one of these. It would make a nice low power
router/gateway or EMC2 remote. <<

I have had good success using the Via C7 mini-itx boards (see:
http://www.mini-box.com/Hybrid-C7-1-5G?sc=8&category=99). The main problem I
had was between some power supplies and the IDE Flash module (4 GB) I was
using. Changing either the power supply or the flash module has remedied the
problem. I talked to the PS manufacturer, and the problem seems to be with
the rise time of the 5V (IDE bus) relative to the 12V which powers the flash
module. The result was that the system did not boot reliably. The PS
manufacturer suggested putting a cap on the 5V (I tried once without
success), but changing to a different flash module fixed the problem for me,
so I have not re-investigated.

I use a riser card for the Mesa 5i20 board. The first enclosure I used was
from mini-box, but the Mesa board did not mount very well, so I went to a
Travla enclosure which does a better job of accommodating the Mesa board and
comes with panel mount brackets.

I was also able to get EMC to run under the smaller footprint Xubuntu on
this board. Real simple actually, all that was really required was to run
the install script manually.

Regards,
Eric

It's the C3 processors that seem to have the problem. A lack of PCI
slots makes ITX less desirable for me, plus micro-ATX boards tend to be
much cheaper and not that much bigger.
