[Paparazzi-devel] Possible board for paparazzi?

[Marc Schwarzbach]

Hi,

a few days ago I had a board on my table (included in a quadcopter) which seems 
to be a possible platform for paparazzi. So I just wanted to ask for your 
opinion.

(Short specs:Vortex86DX, 1GHz, 256Mb RAM, 6 serial ports, 16 sevo outputs, 
analogue, i2c..., 40g, 5V 400mA) Runs Linux, Windows...
Price: about 230€

Here´s the Link:

Since there have been attemps to run Paparazzi airborne code on a Linux machine 
it is probbly not a huge problem to port it?
Pobably a realtime linux as a basis would b needed?

Regarding the power of the board I see things like wind calculation on board, 
EKF-filtering of IMU, having SRTM-files and SD-logging on board and much 
capacity for other applications. 
And the price is not much higher then a Tiny board...

Hope I´m not totally wrong...

Regards

Marc
