: Been around for a while (forgot to include etrax based board in my other : post)

: Etrax from Axis

: The ETRAX 100LX Multi Chip Module includes the ETRAX 100LX SoC plus 4 MB : Flash, 16 MB SDRAM, Ethernet Transceiver, etc. This chip is ideal for : Ethernet-connected Linux systems. :

: a.. 4 asynchronous serial ports : a.. 2 synchronous serial ports : a.. 2 USB ports Host 1.1 : a.. 2 Parallel ports : a.. 4 ATA (IDE) ports : a.. 2 Narrow SCSI ports (or 1 Wide)

Yep I know multichip solutions are around - I was wondering aloud how long before we have a single chip solution - a Linux PIC. That will potentially cause a step change in applications.

B*ll*cks, I'm always doing that....

: Nothing but they systems on a chip That should read : Nothing but they are NOT systems on a chip

: : Ethernet, USB Host, USB Client, LCD controllers, Serial ports, Audio ports : : etc.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am interested in ARM based boards, i have plans buying a kit,

please guide me the suitable kit.

also it must support LINUX OS.

Good heavens, this was a post from Tsvetan in Sep-2005, as best I can work out.

Suggest you check his site now, he has added many more boards during the last 3 years.

Cheers Don...
