[Nottingham] Single board computers.

[Martin]

Ben,

Nope, not got one, yet... ;-)


There is also a distraction with perhaps using a RasPi + FPGA
development board via GPIO...

And LOTs of other SBCs.

Or for just going bonkers hardware/parallel simulation on a GPGPU...


Hence,

Is there anyone out there already playing with this sort of stuff on
Linux (or Minix, or Hurd :-) or whatever)?


Cheers,
Martin
