Re: [Xenomai-help] x86 based SBC with PCI slot expansions and Xenomai support?

[Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas <lbocseg@domain.hid>]

Hi Cedric,

thank you very much for your precious information! I was really 
expecting an answer not so great as yours, like "There are the boards 
ECM-5718, xxx, yyy.", but your answers were much more complete.

I really appreciated your message. Again, thank you very much!

Best Regards,
Rodrigo.

P.S: I think a 600 Mhz would suffice for my application because I think 
this processor can process a 480x240 color image for, basically, 
threshold processing. Other required processing have few processing 
power requirements. But for sensor data reading, I would need to have 
maximum latencies of 20 us. But the data reading processing is very 
simple and takes much less than 1 us. But anyway, it is not a commercial 
application. It is just my robot with a sample program for validating 
the framework developed in my Master thesis. I will not implement it 
with SBC, but I want to be more specific when arguing that it would be 
possible to use a SBC and show an example of SBC that could be used. But 
I really like your message because I may need to develop real 
applications in future and it is good to see your suggestions. Thank you.
