While they are based in the states, they do have a reseller in Europe. I use a bunch at work for various tasks. Very reliable hardware. They use various i386 compatible AMD Geode CPUs. You can give it whatever sized CF card you want or attach a small hard disk. Use a serial console to bootstrap and make sure you configure your FreeBSD system to use serial console. Some also have one or more PCI slots, useful for your GPIO/SPI interfaces. HTH! -- James.
