Re: [gentoo-embedded] looking for a embedded platform with extended temperature range

Hi guys, 

thanks for all your great suggestions - and sorry for not having
answered you sooner ... 

let me share some more info on the subject ... 

for one project we will go with standard mini-itx mainboards and a
heating in the case - and of course with ssd instead of hdd ...

for the other one i found a really nice device from germany calla MoRoS:

	http://www.insys-tec.de/moros-gprs/

despite the fact that this is fully linux powered and has tons of nice
features (gsm/grps/umts, rs232, 4xethernet) - the *main* feature for me
is that you can upload a so called "sandbox" image with your own linux
programs - supported by denx eldk ... its arm based, but i have not got
more detailed spec about the internals until now ...   

i know this is not really "embedded" the gentoo way ;) - but i think
this could be well suited for some nice hacked up projects ;)

the other interesting thing i found is the fit-pc from compulab.co.il.
has any of you any experiences with this device ?

	http://www.fit-pc.com

basically this is a very low power (6-8 watts) atom platform - according
to information i got from compulab the boards are also available in -20
to 70 and -40 to 85° - but only for 100+ pieces and you have to buy a
development board also - which is in the range of about $800.

the complete fit-pc (atom 1.6 ghz, 1gb ram, wlan but no hdd) is about
255eur here in austria ... and is certified from 0 to 70° ... 

i will take a closer look at the igep's now ... 

regards and all the best from austria,
marcus.
