1 Hi embedded gentooists ;)
2
3 i am looking for a small embedded board with extended temperature range
4 - ideal from -20 to +60 degrees celsius - i know "extended" is far more,
5 but for my project it's sufficient to have -20 to +60 ... it will be
6 installed outdoors in the wild - here in austria ;)
7
8 to be honest, i am looking for two solutions ... ;)
9
10 one could/should either be kind of "standard" x86 platform - preferably
11 fanless ;) - with usb, ethernet, hw watchdog and sata at a minimum ...
12
13 and the second one could be any embedded device with usb (host),
14 ethernet, hw watchdog and the possibility to run python code ... ;)
15
16 after some research i am stuck with atom based mini-itx platform for the
17 first - 0 to 60 degrees - which could be realised by utilizing a heater
18 inside the outdoor housing ... but fanless ...
19
20 for the latter, gumstix look promising but i am a little unsure how they
21 perform ... and they only sell directly from the us. ...
22
23 as i am in austria - some distributor within europe would be great !!!
24
25 any (great) ideas, hints, experiences ?!?!
26
27 thanks a lot,
28 marcus.
