Help in evaluation needed...

Hi!
I am looking for an embedded Linux system with the following features:
Ethernet, CAN, RS232, a few GPIOs and LCD. The design process should be
straightforward. I would prefer an open source distribution because of
costs and independence.
Can anyone suggest a good combination of processor and distribution?
I had a look at uCLinux, this seems to be the most advanced distribution
- but is there any CAN-hardware supported?
Thanks in advance,
Tankred
P.S.: Sorry for my english...

Everyone wants this :)

SnapGear Linux! :)

There are a number of normal Linux CAN projects, I haven't seen any of
them running on uClinux systems, but I don't think it would be too hard
to port.
take a look at:

http://canfestival.sourceforge.net/
and google.

Hello!
Thank you for your quick response...

Yes, I consider using this one. It supports my
this-time-favourite-processor (Motorola Coldfire 5282).

At this page Motorola FlexCAN (which is included in the Coldfire 5282)
is supported. I think I´ll try this way.
I wonder if this stuff will work...
