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.
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 ?
The target market for this CPU is embedded systems, so the idea is
that the customer designs a board for their need and uses that. The
boards you can buy are evaluation boards, and these tend to be
somewhat expensive because of the low volume.
You might be interested in some VIA C7-based board like the MSI Fuzzy
CN700T, which should do everything you want (it reportedly has low
signal quality on the VGA port; it does have a DVI port, however); the
graphics of this port should be supported by the Unichrome X driver
<http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/> and (unaccelerated) the vesa
driver.
Can I solder my custom device given all the ICs ? would it be
feasible ?
You also need a circuit board to solder the ICs on, and you need to
program the BIOS flash chip. If you need to ask, it's probably not
feasible for you.
