HI, I am student, and I am interesting in using Linux to do a embedded project. I have not decided the project topic, but the processor I am looking for is either x86, ARM, or MIPS. The memory is around 32 MB. I have tried to look online, but most of them are too expensive for a student. Is there any development kit that is around $300 and fit my description?
Thank you for you help.

Here's a description of one possibility (long link)
or search on groups.google.com for "compusa router embedded linux".
There's something to be said for just taking an old PC and treating it like an embedded system! Putting the entire kernel and userland on a floppy is a pretty good simulation of what you have to do with a flash-based embedded system.
And to make the simulation more realistic, you can use a real embedded distro, e.g.
By the way, last month I bought a WRT54G for $95 or so and was able to load Linux programs on it (see

I've been tempted to do that myself. The main unit's pretty cheap, and the ethernet card isn't too expensive if you can find one. Problem is, the darn thing only has 16 (or 24MB, if you count the framebuffer) of RAM, whereas the original poster wanted something with 32MB RAM. And I can't blame him; 16MB is awful cozy.

Try a 3.5" biscuit PC. Advantech PCM-5820, around $250, plus $20 for a 64Mb SODIMM.
Hiya,
Take a look at
They have both ARM and x86 plaforms an they are small and cheap!
Cheers
