Low-power, embedded SOC with wireless capabilities?

Low-power, embedded SOC with wireless capabilities?

Post by Joane Lispt » Mon, 04 Jun 2001 07:53:06



Hello,

We are currently looking for an embedded, low power (PowerPC?) SOC/SBC
capable of (a) running Linux, (b) with integrated Ethernet transceiver
and (c) support for either Bluetooth or 802.11b. Or simply a PCMCIA
card slot. :-)

It would be used inside a server,  so that, upon being wirelessly
instructed to do so, it would, via "normal" Ethernet, wake the server
up using standard Wake-On-Lan.

Can you give me a hint on where I might find such a device?

Thank you for your attention.

Bye,

Joane Lispton

How about the TQM8xxL Embedded PowerPC Module?

See for instance http://www.denx.de.embedded-ppc-en.html :

MPC8xx Embedded PowerPC Controller
(MPC823, 850, 855 and 860 CPUs, all sub-types available)
up to 64 MB SDRAM
up to 8 MB on-board Flash
2 x serial port (or more), parallel port, I2C, SPI, USB
Ethernet, PCMCIA, LCD-/VGA-Controller (with TQM823L)
up to 2 x CAN-Bus Controllers

... and all that on just 54x44 mm2!

 The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.

1. low-power, low cost hardware for solar powered project

I am researching hardware for a project that has the following primary
requirements:

1. low-power consumption
2. min. 2 serial ports, Ethernet port
3. capable of running a Java 2 JVM (and I mean running - not crawling ;-))
4. capaple of running an embedded DB (Java) system
5. low cost

I had a good search at the archives but most of the suggestions seem to be
'cutting edge' type hardware - which in most cases means high cost . I would
rather go for some established hardware as my computing requirements are not
that high.

The software that the system is going to run is very networking heavy
(XML-RPC ...) but no GUI or Graphics stuff. The system is going to run more
or less headless.

Size of the system is not a big issue. System is going pretty much
stationary.

Since my background is more software heavy I would like to get some feedback
what hardware is being used out there for similar projects.

Thanks in advance,
