Insufficient RAM for what applications? (not argumenting, just curious, since it has been running Apache and a couple of services just fine)
I understand 64MB (like the board I use) is a little skimpy by today's standards, but when you don't run a GUI, it goes a long way.

The Panda ES is double that. Now those SBC have sata ports, so swap space isn't quite as detrimental as on SBCs that use the SDHC for swap. Still, I rather have the RAM. -----Original Message----- From: Didier Juges <shali...@gmail.com> Sender: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:47:41 To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement<time-nuts@febo.com> Reply-To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <time-nuts@febo.com> Subject: Re: [time-nuts] lightweight webserver for, e.g., NTP widget If you decide to go with one of the SBCs at embeddedarm.com, I have a Wiki page on my web site documenting how I have set mine up.

I've built some web interfaces to very small things using Arduinos and Rabbits, and it works ok for simple stuff (turning on and off switches), but as soon as you start looking at a bit more complexity (e.g. you want to move files around), a bit more sophistication on your server seems useful. Or, for instance, if you have a DDS you want to program to follow a particular sequence of frequencies (e.g. to match a particular Doppler profile, in my case). Or a data acquisition application. The appeal that the "user client" is that any old web-browser is pretty generic. I've done this "sort of" by exposing a directory as a public share (SMB) and then "browsing" to that file, using the file:// mechanism, but it seems that actually having a real server might be useful (for things like POST from a form, for instance) But, on the other hand, it seems that something like Apache is a bit much to manage. Is there something that runs under Linux on a lightweight single board PC (Raspberry pi or Intel Mini-ITX Atom mobos) that isn't too much of a pain, and doesn't require you to be a full time web server administrator to make it work? _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
