headless yocto linux on Intel?

headless yocto linux on Intel?

[Bob Cochran]

Hello,

Is it still the case that all Atom solutions have built in video 
support?  So, if I wanted to use Atom for a headless solution, I would 
have idle video hardware.

If this isn't the case, can you please point me to the best Atom 
solution to run a headless (yocto) Linux embedded system?

Thanks,

Bob

All Intel® Atom™ Processors currently have GFX hardware of some kind. 
Any can run Yocto with or without graphic. You control that with the 
recipes and how you edit them. To answer your question as to the best, 
that depends on if you are needing a certain set of hardware features or 
whether you are doing a component design or looking for a board. The 
n450 and cedartrail have commercially available boards available in form 
factors like mini ITX, etc. E6xx and emenlow have a lot of boards 
available from members of the Intel® Intelligent Systems Alliance. Check 
out edc.intel.com for a list of members and links to their boards.
