I am currently using a DreamPlug to run a Cyrus IMAP with SSD. For a small place, DreamPlug is really a dream since it eats very little power and gets the job done. DreamPlug works for me since it has a eSATA. I've been thinking about buying another DreamPlug as a backup hardware. But, if I can play with it with better hardware, and cheaper, that would be great. The other use I can think of is pfSense or some sort of firewall. I do use pfSense right now, and obviously it's x86 based. (AMD geode.) I would like to use ARM based machine for firewall, because it's a little harder to crack if there is ever an attack. If it's going to have two Ethernet ports, then, it's a good platform for firewall. Gigabit would be nice (again, DreamPlug does), but it's not a deal breaker to me. You notice that, with 2 ethernet ports and WIFI, it can be a WIFI router. -- Tai On 4/28/12 8:09 AM, Charles Sibbald wrote: > Hello Folks, > > I have had discussions with some friends about the possibility of a > high spec 'clone' of the PI and this has brought us to the list at the > bottom of the page. > > We have been in discussions with a PCB designer and expect we can > produce this with a retail price of under US$100. > > Does anyone have any comments on this idea, what would be the interest > in such a spec board? > > On advantage we have is that we will have an agreement with chipset > manufacturers for access to necessary information for the BSD > community to develop drivers. > > Processor > ============ > Cortex-A8 1.5GHz Dual Core Samsung SOC > > Display > ============ > RCA video, > Mini-HDMI, > LCD ribbon connector, > Sound > ============ > Mini-Audio 2.5mm Mic& Speaker Out ports > RAM& Storage > ============ > 1GB RAM on board, > Mini-SD card slot, > Networking > ============ > LAN 2 x 10/100, > 802.11b/g/n onboard, > Bluetooth onboard, > GSM/GPRS (Single modem) > Connectivity > ============ > Mini-USB 3 Ports, > Amtel ATxmega Microcontroller 100 GPIO pins > Camera pins, > InfraRed pins, > Sensors > ============ > Gyro sensor, > G-Sensor, > Digital compass, > GPS and Accelerometer > Antenna > ============ > GSM Antenna, > Bluetooth Antenna, > Wifi Antenna, > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
