The 9g20u is really small only 2.5" x 2.5". It supports USB for sure, and GPIO I think (need to double check: the drivers are there don't know if they are wired to userland). I have the larger 9g20 that's 3.75x3.5 inches. It is USB 1 speeds through. The g45 has USB2 speed ports. If you don't need ethernet, there's a number of systems based on the AT91SAM9RL, but I have no air miles on them since they don't have ethernet. > Does FreeBSD support both of those boards out of the box, > including USB host ports and the GPIO pins? I believe so on the g20. Less sure what the state is on the g45 since I just got mine recently. Warner > Best regards > Oliver > > > -- > Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
