[Soekris] New Soekris?
So, I read this article: http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/27/143203 on slashdot. This is slightly disconcerting. They aren't going to release any new Geode processors. Does Soekris have a roadmap for new devices over the next 3 years? Keep in mind, they aren't going to kill the current line for a while, so we have at least 2-3 years. I just want to make sure my favorite embedded products vendor has a plan. -- +1.925.202.9485 Sargun Dhillon deCarta sdhil...@decarta.com www.decarta.com ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

There seems to be an OpenBSD port so I'd be satisfied. /P 2009/1/28 Lars Noodén l...@umich.edu: Sargun Dhillon wrote: ...They aren't going to release any new Geode processors.

No, there will be no new Geodes, the architecture is running out of life But the Geode LX used on the net5501 are going to be available until at least 2016, according to AMD docs. And I am working on new boards, had actually started on a VIA C7M/Nano/VX800 board design, but then the communication with VIA died up, zip, nada, like emailing into a black hole Can't design a product on that, what if I run into a chip bug ? They don't seems interested in the smaller guys. I'm now looking a other options from AMD and Intel, have great communication and NDA access with both, and those new netbook/nettop parts are just perfect for the net6501 I regularly take a round looking at ARM, MIPS, SH, PowerPC and whatever come around, but they just don't have the broad support and top to bottom range of parts like the x86 Best Regards, Soren Kristensen CEO Chief Engineer Soekris Engineering, Inc. ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
