looking for small single board computer

hello all,

I'm looking for a small size single board computer with following spec, you may be able help me to find some, I found plenty of them but I'm not willing to try to ask for prices for each....

- processor: any architecture that runs Linux, I'll see later the required speed, 200MHz should be largely enough

- RAM onboard, size: ?, maybe 32-64MB

- FLASH or equivalent storage to store an embedded Linux that is then decompressed into RAM and then run from RAM (maybe with a ready to use Linux distribution on it)

- PCI Master controller to be connected to my custom PCI target boards.

- 1 Ethernet interface with or without magnetics

- 1 or 2 serial interface not necessarily RS232, can be TTL, LVTTL or whatever, just for debug purpose

- some GPIOs to controll a touch screen display (touch screen + display interface), maybe around 20 pins

- form factor: small! DIMM modules look interesting to me because they are flat, but can be equivalent size (except PC104+).

- power consumption: not necessarily low power

- mandatory: USB slave or host, compact flash interface

- I don't need audio or graphic controller

I've already made a design around a low power Geode-based PC104+ SBC (~500? for very low volumes) but the completely new project key feature is the price rather than performance (around 200? or even less).

Someone has any idea?

Best regards

UNC20 Arm system on 48dil module, mature (1yr+) linux. Develop on supplied motherboard which has LCD Net & serial connectors. Ship with your own custom cheap 2 layer board:

Not tried one yet as our current project will fit onto this:

One thing one need to be careful of with the unc20. One gets a specific version of software with a module. To get a later version one has to buy a module again. It is also not possible to just buy the module. Before they will sell only a module one has to buy a development kit from them.

It's Linux. Only one person in the world needs to buy it then they will post it on a website somewhere.

That would be perfect for my security system!

It is so cute.

So is the footprint 740 kb? It doesn't say how much room is left for user software.

I have not gone into the technicalities of whether they are breaking the license agreement, but it is a pain if one cannot download the latest stuff directly from the manufacturer. There are other manufacturers of similar products that are not restricting the download of their software.

which one?

picotux has 2MB flash, 8MB ram probably all 16b bus. 4MB Flash promised. Supplied system (.elf) images are 647k, 830k & 1.39M

UNC20 2MB or 8MB of 16b wide Flash, 16MB sdram on 32b bus. Same digi/NetSilicon processor, so maybe same image sizes.

Probably not. The LGPL allows binary only, proprietary libraries to be shipped with GPL software.
