Hi,
I want to develop a thin client solution using the AMD Geode LX 800
processor, the AMD website is quite informative about their processor
and the south bridge CS5536, but i can't figure how to build a
complete system.
here are my requirements -
Geode LX 800
128 MB Ram
10/100 Mbps LAN
no IDE, SATA , Flash etc . needed (since we will boot from the
network)
VGA port for monitor
PS2 for keyb, mouse
USB port
on board sound device , for plugging speakers and mic
thats it !
as for BIOS linuxbios is supposed to have good support for this
processor, AMD has also commited several patches to the kernel for
this processor. This device will boot Linux from a remote server so it
does not need any storage device.
I searched a lot on google on boards for this processor, but could
find relevant boards for my spec.
Also the boards I managed to find were rather expensive ? why is this
so ?
Can I solder my custom device given all the ICs ? would it be
feasible ?
