[B.A.T.M.A.N.] smallest embedded hw running b.a.t.m.a.n ?

[f campos]

Hi !
Can the forum give feedback on the smallest embedded hw running b.a.t.m.a.n ?
do you have digikey/stores link for that  ?

Hello Filipe,

posting the same question again unfortunately does not makes it any more 
specific...

What kind of "small" hardware do you need? small price, small form factor, 
small power consumption? I bet you can run batman on a old 386 CPU or anything
which supports Linux. You don't even need WiFi, every Ethernet compatible
network interface does the trick. So maybe the smalles device is a MIPS 
processor with a USB port? :)

Small WiFi routers I know are for example the old Foneras [1].

best regards,
	Simon

Could it be that you repeat yourself? I think I've already read that in

batmand or batman-adv or bmx? Has the software to be preinstalled? What kind 
of network/physical layer must be supported?

Usually we don't get information from the companies/persons which use the 
software provided by open-mesh.org - only when there is a problem or somebody 
wants to contribute patches. But they don't provide information about the form 
factor of their products.

It should be no problem to run it on those SheevaPlug/GuruPlug things or you 
could try to use Picotux (nobody said that it should a powerful box which is 
capable of doing real networking stuff). Common small router have the 
dimensions of those fonera routers (please correct me). 

To make it short: No, we cannot give any feedback on the smallest embedded 
device which runs batmand/batman-adv/bmx because we have no world record 
registration for that kind of information. But we could try to give hints 
about possible solutions for problems involving the size of the hardware which 
should run batmand/batman-adv/bmx... just give us a detailed description of 
your problem.

Kind regards,
	Sven
