World's smallest networked Linux computer?
Intec Automation is shipping a tiny ColdFire-powered CPU module claimed to be the smallest Linux SBC (single-board computer) with Internet connectivity, a reasonable amount of memory, and "massive control functionality." The WildFireMod measures 1.9 x 1.7 inches (49 x 44mm), and targets data acquisition systems, communications, electric and internal combustion motor controllers, robotics, automotive, avionics, and industrial control.
The WildFireMod is based on a 64MHz FreeScale ColdFire MCF5282, the same used in the SSV design and Intec's earlier WildFire board. It boasts "massive" amounts of memory, Intec says, including 16MB of RAM, and enough SRAM for datalogging and debugging. An SD card socket, from which Linux can be booted, essentially removes any limitation on the size of the Linux filesystem. SDIO is also supported, for WiFi and Bluetooth, and the WildFireMod offers a respectably full complement of PC I/O, including serial, Ethernet, and CAN (controller area network) interfaces.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
