If you go arm cortex and linux, you will need to make your code a "service." You will want it to start up by itself and if for some reason it crashes, you will want it to restart itself. The buzzword is "harden" and the techniques vary depending on the distribution.
You should check the architecture of the system. I didn't realize many of these boards run the ethernet off the usb hub. My recollection is the a10 used by Allwinner does not do that. Opensuse has JEOS, which stands for Just Enough OS. Less is more! _______________________________________________ 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.
