Latest revision as of 00:36, 22 October 2010

Let's assume my next car computer ("next" being after I actually have one which I don't currently have but am working on see 8track)

where was I

Let's assume it's based on an ARM9 of some kind. Where will that come from?

A Chumby? A BeagleBoard?

Things I'd like it to have

USB - at least 2 ports, one for GPS and one for Lilliput DisplayLink screen 
WiFi
Lots of RAM
Fast CPU
Ability to boot from flash or SD card
Support for a huge SD card or support for a SATA drive 

Candidates, let's be creative here

  • Chumby
  • BeagleBoard C or XM
  • PandaBoard
  • Mikrotik RouterBoard
  • Gumstix
  • GuruPlug

BeagleBoard XM

OMAP processor
