Hi all,
I'm in the design phase of a hobby project and I'm trying to choose a
suitable embedded computer. The beagle board looks like it might fit,
and the price is right.. but I thought it would be a good idea to ask
around here before I go ahead and buy one.
I need an embedded computer set up with the following:
WiFi and GPRS (cell modem) connectivity. I thought SDIO and USB
dongles could work here. Will the software work out? Are there
specific models/families of add-on cards I should choose?
A camera. A good USB web cam would be fine.
The serial port would be used to talk to a PIC that I have for
controlling some motors. That already exists, and it would be trivial
to interface the beagle board to this.
Mainly I'm concerned with whether or not the Linux/arm software stack
will support USB/SDIO wifi, gprs, and a camera.
Any help, or pointers to other boards that may be more suitable, would
be appreciated.
