embedded system development environment

Jun 18, 2008 11 Replies

Hi All,



I am new to embedded system development and need your advice on my upcoming project. I thank and appreciate your help in advance.



I'd like to setup a development environment that includes a microprocessor which supports output to LCD as well as input/output based on Ethernet and 802.11. The software platform is better based on Linux with GNU tool chain.



Please kindly suggest what is available on the market that fits the above requirement.



Thanks again,



Bill


One of the gumstix configurations probably has the capabilities you want.

Are you looking for a board the meets those requirements, or are yo interested in laying out your own PCB and going into production?

I ask this because a systems integrator needs to look at a whole differen class of products than a circuit designer. And WiFi is mostly a modula option, with all the CF and SD card options.

I am looking for a board that's available on the market so that I can build my application on it.

Why exactly does a laptop or mini laptop (e.g. Eee) not meet your requirements>?

Pity about the last part... most professional tools are on the PC platform.

Linux is available on a PC platform. I think you mean Windows.

If by "PC platform" you meant "Windows", (a) that isn't really true these days, and (b) the impression I got from the OP is that he wants the OS on the target to be Linux, not necessarily the host OS. Not that it makes much difference - it's the path of least resistance to develop for Linux targets on a Linux host anyway.

Assuming you mean "Windows" rather than "PC platform"...

That rules out Green Hills, Freescale/CodeWarrior, Cosmic, and a range of other suppliers as "professional".

First, think on what your are going to accomplish; only then think how you are going to accomplish that. In this order and not vice versa.

Understood nothing. Too many meaningless buzzwords.

Buy a used laptop at ebay.
