For example, I don't need HDMI video or audio, and I don't need Bluetooth. What I really need is the processor, RAM, ROM, USB hub, SD/MMC card slot and the ability to add more features when I need. Ain't there any simpler ready made boards containing only the necessary resources ?!!!</span></div></span></font><br><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "></div><hr id="stopSpelling" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">From: email.ahmedkamal@googlemail.com</font><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2011 21:24:00 +0300</font><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">Subject: Re: Embedded linux</font><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">To: ubuntu-eg@lists.ubuntu.com</font><br><br><div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; ">wrt hardware, I heard great things on panda board <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_Board" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_Board</a><br> <br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">2011/6/5 Islam Hassan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:eng.islam_hassan@hotmail.com">eng.islam_hassan@hotmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div> <font face="Tahoma" size="2">@ Ahmed Kamal: Thanks for the link, I'll check it out as soon as I can.</font><div style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt">@ Osama Mongy: Thanks for the info about busybox.</div><div style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt"> @ Mohamed Nour El-Din: Thanks for thanks for correcting our info about busy box.</div><div><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Tahoma" size="2">@ every one: My main interest is Linux development in general, that's why I intend to try LFS to understand how Linux operate. My interest of embedded Linux came from the intro of the LFS book where they talked about stripped low footprint versions of Linux capable of running on embedded systems with low resources cuz it'll benefit my graduation project.
