I have been looking for a small single board linux computer (preferably open source) to use as a gateway and/or web server for embedded projects. I would like something in between an Arduino and Beagleboard.
Arduino is great for running simple web servers, but it would be nice to have a Linux OS with some familiar tools to be able to build more complex web apps. Products like the Beagleboard fill this need, but they are complex and expensive if you decide to bundle it with your product.
If you don't mind external hosting you can always send your data to the cloud, but I like the simplicity of a self contained product.
The closest I have found to these requirement is at Dangerous Prototypes (sill in development).
Web Platform v2
- 210MHz ARM926 - 2x SPI
- Hopefully 2 layers! - Linux
- 4x USART - 2x 10 bit a/d
- ethernet - < $100?
