Hello Philippe, > I will have to llok for another target. What sort of requirements do you have? The most obvious targets for ARM are the PDAs (HP and Compaq) since they should be relatively easy to obtain, and relatively cheap. Obviously, they are consumer devices though so they don't necessarily have the same degree of support for development. If you have the money, there is the Intel Assabet board (pretty close to an Ipaq PDA in development form), but expensive. You might be able to get a hold of the older Brutus boards too (they're obsolete, but there might be some on the second hand market as companies off load them). The older SA-110 based EBSA-285 cards might still be around too - a PCI based solution. Check out Intel's developer web site for docs and specs on these. From ARM, there is the Integrator platform, but this is also very expensive. You get a choice of processors for it; the obvious one for BSD work today would be the 920T (has an MMU and reasonably fast). Integrator has PCI slots, so expansion hardware, networking etc should be easy to deal with. There are some other ARM reference designs out there. A company called Cogent produces ARM boards with a variety of CPUs and I/O solutions. Don't have prices handy for those, but they are aimed at commercial organisations so I'd guess not that cheap. Looking at the ARM Powered device list at arm.com, the following look like they could also be good candidates: Bitsy - http://www.applieddata.net/products_bitsy.asp Graphics Client Plus - http://www.applieddata.net/products_gcplus.asp CATS - http://www.chaltech.com/products.php EM-110 - http://www.embedone.com/e-main4.htm NetWinder - http://www.netwinder.net/2100/ Yopy - http://www.yopy.com/ - http://www.gmate.co.kr/english/products/overview.htm There are others, but these look like the most promising...
