Hello,
I am looking for a small SBC that includes serial, Ethernet, and an IDE interface for connection to a CompactFlash or disk drive. I have been using an AVR based board from EDTP, but it has been discontinued.
I am not wed to AVR. Coldfire, ARM, x86, or whatever works is fine. I would prefer a board with solid support for the GNU toolchain.
The board need not include an OS or file system. My simple application will communicate via serial and Ethernet, and read/write the CompactFlash or disk drive connected to the IDE interface using low level sector I/O. My application will boot from SBC boot flash. There is no requirement to boot from the CompactFlash or disk drive, which serve only as data devices.
I am looking for a low cost SBC, not an embedded PC. This is simple stuff.
Any recommendations for board vendors?
Thanks.
Jim
