Beaglebone costs around 50 eur (at least in my country) and it has cpu and ram onboard, sd card costs ~10 eur, any power supply with 5 vdc output can be used for it (including unnecessary phone charger). Atom ITX boards cost around 70 eur and it has cpu on board. You still need ram and hdd, which will require additional 20-30 eur and also pc psu for another 20 eur. And double check any new Atom ITX boards - AFAIK there are issues with drivers for Linux of their gpu chip, which mean problems with realtime performance. BTW Beaglebone is much easier to mount somewhere in the electronics cabinet. The only thing that keeps me from using Beaglebone are the emails about hdmi and pru fight for particular pins, so there were some difficulties about them. I know that Charles has a working solution, but I do not know any details. Disabling hdmi and running the beaglebone headless is definitely a solution, but I know that I am not that advanced to set up something like that. -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
