Hello EBo, Yes, it helps. I will look into them. I have used EMC on PC104s in the past, but the ones I have used are just normal PC platform. They are way too expensive, and they are sometimes not as reliable as some commodity PC hardware. I have had better success with the VIA EPIA boards. The BeagleBone is a good one with plenty of GPIO pins. I have found it awkward to interface FPGAs to it, so it is mostly limited to running steppers, though I have one running with an Altera Spartan II FPGA, but by the time I got it up and running, it ended up looking like a huge hack, so that was the reason that I built the A20 board. -Neil-
