Article is too long to post in its entirety. The website is light on graphics and details more about this, and only a few minor adverts that Ghostery easily dealt with.

As someone who for many years designed with embedded devices, with Assembly Language coming in particularly handy in this regard, getting linux to run on tiny amounts of hardware was always quite enjoyable, and I look forward not only to looking up archive information but browsing LinuxGizmos quite a bit more in the future to see what this potential Evil Overlord can create in the future! *Snidely Whiplash laugh* *grin*

I’m also an embedded systems guy.

It’s so nice that we have cheap and powerful ARM SoCs that can run Linux today.

I still code in assembler quite a lot... old habits die hard :-)

I like the cheap Raspberry Pi board, a nice ARM SoC with 500mb ram sitting on top is the heart of this 35 dollar beast. The BeagleBoard Black is even better.. but a few $ more.

Now, back to the BGA work station.
