there are some x86 models, and one, the udoo x86 ultra, has an embedded arduino 101 (maybe a handy slave)
there are also arm models but this x86 looks interesting forlinuxcnc the "udoo x86 ultra" tadaaa it came out of kickstarter http://mouser.com/new/udoo/udoo-x86/ https://www.slant.co/topics/1629/viewpoints/26/~single-board-computers~udoo-x86 i do not know how to research wether the udoo x86 ultra would be good as alinuxcnc controller i suppose i'd have get one and boot a linuxcnc image and have ethernet mesa cards to see if it was useful could it (pretty much) just work out of the box? ( hehehe how's 'pretty much' for a quantifier ;-) i say id try mesa ethernet cards as thats the only useful ports i saw but i've read this also "Indeed, any UDOO X86 will support PCI express on M2 slot (2 lanes) from now on." i have no idea what that means, just that it seems to mention PCIe and the M2 slot seems to be discussed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2 but it doesnt look like any PCIe that i have used so it looks like some weird adapter lets you use PCIe cards http://www.hwtools.net/ExtenderBoard/P14S-P14F.html looks possible, but a 300$ gamble andyp was looking at an udoo, from messages back in 2014, so i suspect it was an arm system, tho it was referred to as 'the udoo' ( life was simpler then ;-) the x86 part might allow a standard image to run on it ( i edited this down from 'should' ) tomp tjtr33 On 02/08/17 23:26, Gene Heskett wrote: > On Wednesday 08 February 2017 10:49:02 W.
