I’m looking for recommendations for a small computer to use in an embedded GNURadio product. By “small” I mean small enough that the whole system can be portable, like the size of a lunchbox or smaller. It will connect to an Ettus USRP B200mini-i, which communicates using USB 3.0. The application is fairly compute intensive, so a fast, multi-core processor will make life easier.
I’ve researched a few Single Board Computers (SBCs). Low-end SBCs don’t look like a good idea. For example, the Rasperry Pi 3 has a relatively slow processor, and only supports USB 2.0. Here are a few products I’m considering:
LattePanda SBC
- Intel Cherry Trail Z8350 quad-core processor 1.44 GHz
- USB 3.0 x 1, USB 2.0 x 2
- Size: 3.5" x 2.75"
- RAM: 2–4 GB DDRL3L
- Storage: 32–64 GB eMMC
- Can run Ubuntu
- Price: about $120.00
UP Board SBC
- Intel Atom x5 Z8350 64-bit, quad core processor 1.44GHz
- USB 3.0 x 1, USB 2.0 x 4
- Size: 3.37" x 2.22"
- RAM: 4GB
- Storage: 64 GB eMMC
- Can run Ubuntu
- Price: about $150.00
INTEL NUC Board NUC7i5DNBE
- Intel® Core™ i5-7300U dual core processor, up to 2.6 GHz
- USB 3.0 x 1, USB 2.0 x 2
- Size: 4” x 4”
- RAM: up to 32 GB
- Storage: M.2 SSD slot - any size(?)
- Comes with Windows 10, but can probably run Ubuntu
- Price: about $400.00
Does anyone have any experience with these, or have another recommendation?
Thanks,
