Thanks, but I hope to start from a bit "higher" level than this :) On Mon, May 15, 2017 at 04:06:17PM -0400, Ron Georgia wrote: > jm, > I have two of those units.

Well yes, I know - I have ran a full linux distribution on these. But I want to minimize the image size to make updates faster and easier. I also want to remove all software that is not required for the application to maximize reliability and security. I called this "embedded" because the system will be a headless server with functionality limited to one application only. > I have one running my pfsense firewall and > it hardly breaks a sweat.

What does the CPU temperature sensor report? Mine says 43°C, but the box is in a warm room (I guess 25°C or more). I have 4 GB RAM, an LTE modem, and a 512 GB mSATA disk installed.

I know there are industrial grade CF cards, but they are pretty expensive per megabyte. The firmware update process is what I'm mostly wondering about.. -jm
