I'm using the Intel D945GCLF: http://www.intel.com/Products/Desktop/Motherboards/D945GCLF/D945GCLF-overview.htm There are much smaller Atom boards (e.g., Pico-ITX), but I'm starting with the Mini-ITX first since I was able to borrow one ;-) To allow the D945GCLF to be powered by batteries, I'm using a wide input DC-DC converter: http://www.mini-box.com/M3-ATX-DC-DC-ATX-Automotive-Computer-car-PC-Power-Supply?sc=8&category=981 I need to do some experimentation, but with the help of a DeWALT 18V rechargeable battery (the type used in cordless power tools), I'm hoping to keep the D945GCLF running for up to an hour. > > Another way to make a robot powered by OpenSolaris is creating a > netbook-robot like these ones: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYO-tqRL7pY > http://toolex.blogspot.com/2008/12/acer-aspire-one-arduino-rover-aa1.html These are very cool. With an Atom as the brain on the mobile platform, things can get real interesting. > > -- > ------- > silveiraneto.net <http://silveiraneto.net> > eupodiatamatando.com <http://eupodiatamatando.com> > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-discuss mailing list > opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
