The Box software can be cross-compiled on whatever systems developers have available or built on the target plug computers. However, a powerful ARM-based system might be a better development platform that either, assuming it could be paid for.
A recent Slashdot story: http://slashdot.org/topic/datacenter/low-power-slab-server-pairs-arm-with-linux/ led me to this: http://www.baserock.com/servers This is a half-length 1U rack mount device that has eight quad-core ARM CPUs with 2G Ram and 30G SSD each plus a high-speed onboard network connecting them. It looks as if even one of those would be a good development system for the Box. If budget allows, a bunch of them might be even better. _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
