ARM9 based development board for Linux Redhat ?

[leon20008]

Hello all, I am a newbie to this embedded field, and now I would need a powerful development kit (ARM9) with VGA or TV out and USB for a Web Cam. And it is strongly required to have enough memory to run Linux Redhat!! Does anyone know a (cheap) board with these features, he/she could recommend? thank in advance! Leon

I have found one kit named VGA2410 yesterday at www.development board.net . I think it would be nice for me too. The board is nice, it meets all of my requiremens, and contains all the necessary accessaries. The price is reasonable,And the company in China would provide me English instruction files, so I can modify it by myself in the future and learn more about the embedded things. I found that development kits from China are really cheap, maybe you guys should try this http://www.developmentboard.net next time when you need some boards. Leon -

Glad you found the answer yourself. :-)

I just hope those "English instruction files" are any good - these translations can be disastrous at time.

Just out of interest, what do you need this board for?

It's OK, anyway, I can understand it.
I need the board for my graduation project, I'm trying to build up a smart house model, I'd like to use this board to control some household appliances thru internet. In these days I am considering to do it tru SMS, so I need to expand this board to support GPRS/CDMA. Could some body please tell me whether it is possible? and how?

Here are the features of the board:

SAMSUNG S3C2410A up to 200MHz

Memory:
SDRAM:64MB
NAND Flash: 64MB, (K9F1208, can be replaced by other types of 16M, 32M, or 128M)

Network interface:
One 10M network interface, CS8900CQ3 chip, with Link and Receiving indicators

USB interfaces:
2 x USB1.1

Audio:
The I2S interface chip UDA1341 supports
one stereo audio output interface,
one MIC interface

Storage interface:
One SD card interface
One IDE interface, PATA/EIDE hard disks or CD

Touch screen interface:
4-wire resistance touch screen interface

Video output:
One VGA interface, through which the VGA comp. display can be connected directly
One TV interface, through which TVs following the PAL or NTSC specification can be connected directly
One LCD Connector

PS2 interface:
One PS2 keyboard interface

JTAG:
One 20pin standard Multi-Ice JTAG interface

Misc. interfaces :
One 40pin connector works as expansion port, draws out the IIC BUS, SPI BUS, the five AD outputs, the unused GPIO ports and the external interrupts lines.
One 20pin connector draws out all the address lines and control lines needed to emulate a standard IDE/ATAPI/PATA port.

Power interface:
5V power supply, with switch and status lights

Enclosure list:
One VGA2410 core board
One VGA2410 application board
One WIGGLER JTAG board(with one 50cm 20pin cable)
One 5V power source (not for all countries available, please ask us)
