Hello, I am exploring the world of embedded systems. I have developed some software that runs on a desktop computer. Now, I have to put it on a motherboard which I can carry with me.
A co-worker told me about Linux Voyage. I have found a motherboard that may be good for me: http://www.mimomonitors.com/products/mimo-dreamplug But I wonder if I can run Linux Vogage on it. The board's CPU is: Marvell Sheeva CPU core 1.2GHz speed. "Voyage Linux is Debian derived distribution that is best run on a x86 embedded platforms such as PC Engines ALIX/WRAP, Soekris 45xx/48xx/65xx and Atom-based boards." Marvell Sheeva is not part of the list. So, I guess that Linux Voyage is not working on it. Am I correct? If so, do you know a basic motherboard that can run Linux Voyage? - Fanless. - Low Consumption (this very important). - 2 USB. - 1 SATA (for SSD). - Some way to plug a keyboard (USB or PS/2). - Some way to plus a sceen (VGA, for example - even RS232). I don't care about graphics... I don't install any graphical environment. - RAM: 512 Mb (minimum). But 1 Gb should be better. - CPU 700 MHz (minium). - I don't care about network. If the board has network interfaces, it does not hurt. but I don't need it. - And, if it is possible, some way to change the SD card where the kernel is stored. - My co-worker told me that you should not write too much on this card. I am testing, and playing... so I may burn it many times. I don't want to change the entire board because the SD card is dead. If I could just install Linux on the SSD it should be easier I guess. There are so many boards... I look, look and look again. Many boards seem good. But I have no experience and I guess some of you may have a good idea. Thank you, Denis
