Phidgets GNU/Linux ARM Robot Controller
The
LinuxDevices
blog reported yesterday on a new ARM controller from Phidgets that
runs GNU/Linux and is designed with robot applications in mind. Called
Phidget
SBC, the board is based on the Samsung
S3C2410 ARM processor, which
uses the ARM 920T core running at 266MHz. You get 64MB of RAM and 64MB
of flash, a 10/100 Ethernet port, and (of course, since this if from
Phidgets) 4 full-speed USB ports that can be used to connect to the full
range of Phidgets. You'll also find 8 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs,
8 analog inputs, a JTAG port, reset button, and some LED on the board.
They're taking pre-orders now and expect to start shipping this month.
Cost is $265 direct
from Phidgets or $244 at Trossen
Robotics.
