1 Project History
Ever since I have been interested in ever smaller and more efficient hardware solutions that nevertheless fulfill their assigned tasks just perfectly while consuming as little as possible power. I started off with other platforms: The
- The Cisco Linksys WRTSL54GS was a nice start. I killed the serial port with my soldering iron.
- The ASUS WL-500GP was more comfortable since it had two USB2.0 ports.
- The Fonera Router was also an interesting platform - cheap and powerful enough for connection issues.
- An Intel Atom CPU Embedded Board was the hardware basis for the first Echolink server I built. But for my taste it still consumes too much power while being oversized for such a task: A Low-Power Combined Echolink and ATV Server
So my attention was won by the BeagleBoard. It is a neat little ARM based board which provides more comfort than the Linksys / ASUS / Fonera class of devices but is smaller and far more power efficient than the Intel Atom.
