intresting things have been happening latley with freescale, in 30 days (i i remeber correctly) they get sold to new owners, what this means i dont really know as i havent looked at the proposed plans if any are even avalible
anyway there was a new product on the market that was simmilar to what i had in mind in terms of casing, its a pxa270 chip (xscale) but it has wifi, bluetooth, keyboard and more. some notable features (read must have) are: ethernet 128MB of ram 8 hour batter life 20GB drive USB host (most likly full speed) remeber i am mainly designing this as a portable office and have recently been eyeing the flybook and lifebook after seeing them in person however this device seems to fill 90% of what i was planning to chuck in there, the only things missing seem to be video out and a video card anyway links: http://www.slashgear.com/more-details-on-t...reen-201720.php http://www.seamlessinternet.com/s-xgen/specs.html http://www.slashgear.com/s-xgen-umpc-field...oard-141644.php |

yes, I know you (da blitz) look at linux devices regularly, but not everyone does!
this board looks very interesting: http://www.armkits.com/product/NK9315.asp * Dimensions: 140x200mm * Processor: Cirrus Logic EP9315 based on 32-bit ARM920T core microcontrollers running at 200 MHz * Power input: DC12.0V * 32M NOR Flash Memory * 64M Nand Flash Memory * 64M 32bit SDRAM * LCD Display and Touch-Screen interface * Analog VGA connection * Composite Video and S-Video Output Connectors * IDE Interface * CAN interface * Three-port USB Host * 20pin standard JTAG interface * Real-Time Clock * I2S Interface * 8*8 Keyboard interface * PS/2 Interface * 5 UARTs. One is RS485, and the other four are RS232 (two are extended through one PC16C2550 chip using two 10pin connectors) * 10/100Mbps Ethernet Interface * CF card socket * PCMCIA card socket * System bus interface it's ONLY weaknesses as far as I can see is a lack of RAM, if it had 256M RAM it'd be great and no SD card slot; it's also a bit big, and we could comfortably drop the IDE, PS/2, and PCMCIA slot to reduce its size. Hmm, it'd be nice if it had a sata port which could be brought externally for things! |

But regardless of the price, I wouldn't use a cirrus cpu, since they suck. Every ep93xx cpu produced today fails to boot about 10% of the time... |

Every ep93xx cpu produced today fails to boot about 10% of the time... top tip, thanks for that! it seems to me that an N800 with big memory cards is still one of the most cost effective well featured arm development/test tools. it'd be nice if the schematics were published so it'd be more amenable to hardware hackery.
