Ask HN: What's your favorite embedded system?

2 points·timtrueman··3 comments

I'm looking for something rugged, capable of running Linux, and cheap if possible. I'm just curious what you guys have actually used and liked as I evaluate which one would work for me.

I've used this in the past but I'm curious what else is out there: http://parvus.com/products/MilitaryAerospace/EmbeddedBoards/CPU-1421/

Arduino ~ http://arduino.cc/

Hands down the cheapest, most open-sourced and fun stuff you can play with. I know it doesn't run Linux, but the cost, expandability through open-design and toolchain make it worth considering for prototyping.

http://www.soekris.com has good stuff

My favorite embedded stuff has always been self-designed.
