Wanted: Linux embedded module w/ RS232 and ethernet

Sep 29, 2004 8 Replies

Hello everybody,



can somebody suggest me a embedded linux module with RS232 and Ethernet interfaces? Not much more is needed.



The RS232 interace is used to attach a GPRS modem module.



I want to use one of the following configurations:


1 - FTP server for the ethernet side, upload then via GPRS to another FTP server

or:


2 - daemon that loads a FTP file from the ethernet side and then uploads it via GPRS

As you see, that should be a EthernetRS232 gateway for a ethernet client that doesn't understand PPP.



I searched on linuxdevices.com and google but simply can't find a device simple and cheap enough to match my needs. There are too many out there...



Thanks for any response! Udo

Just to make it clear: I just need a linux embedded module with a linux system pre-installed. The application software would be written by me...

Perhaps the linksys routers are something for you.

Cant find it right now, but I seem to recall that 2*RS232 was available on the inside of the box, not as external connectors.

Hi Udo,

Lantronix has a small RS-232 Ethernet Converter which has almost the size of a RJ-45 connector, called XPort

Important: You don't need to care about the kernel, the compiler and so on. I think it's a good solution if You don't have a big amount of data to transfer.

I know that there is also a similiar solution including a Net+Arm chip, which is completely user-programmable (except bootloader).

I hope this helps,

Michael

Digi ConnectME, also now available in a WiFi version.

On the WRT54G V2 there is 2 ttl level Serial ports inside , all you need to add is the MAX232 (233) , they are on pcb board on an unpopulated plug , 2x5 pins like a jtag plug (needs to be soldered in also).

It contains a 200Mhz MIPS , but no means of interfacing a disk or Flashcard

Another solution would be the "ARM Industrial Module AIM 711", which is running eCos as OS. It has one ethernet and a serial interface.

Look at
