ok, but how much smultaneous calls did you get on an alix board using astlinux... for istnace, this is the question?<br><br><br>T.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 5:12 PM, Kristian Kielhofner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kristian.kielhofner@gmail.com">kristian.kielhofner@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div> While these are low power when compared to traditional<br>
desktop/server systems, they're not what I would consider to be<br>
embedded. The CPU requires a fan (embedded no-no) and between the<br>
chipset and CPU they draw several times more power than a traditional<br>
embedded system. The ALIX and Soekris boards run with 12 watt power<br>
supplies (12v, 1 amp). The Atom 330 alone can draw 8 watts. This is<br>
still impressive for a processor of this class but it's not what I<br>
would consider to be embedded, yet...<br>
<br>
I think of embedded systems like this:<br>
<br>
Blackfin - Very low power, good performance (especially for DSP), very<br>
difficult porting (usually)<br>
ARM/MIPS - Very low power, decent performance depending on<br>
application, mild difficulty in porting<br>
X86 (Geode, etc) - Pretty low power, decent performance, relative ease<br>
in "porting" (often none)<br>
Everything else - You should probably call it an "appliance", not an<br>
embedded system<br>
<br>
With the correct target application and design ARM and Geode systems<br>
can provide more than enough CPU power for many, many practical<br>
applications.<br>
