I am curious if it is possible to add external ram to the gumstix. Or is the 128 on the xl6p enough? I plan on running a program called megatunix, and would like to run it on a gumstix as opposed to a laptop. http://megatunix.sourceforge.net/ |

Well, to somewhat answer your question... The SDRAM on the Verdex looks to be BGA-like to my eyes...good luck removing it and replacing it...and that assumes that a higher density part would work ;) That said, you'd be surprised what you can run on a Gumstix. And I'd be surprised if the server footprint of "Megatunix" is that huge. Things to be aware of: (1) If there's any assembly in the Megatunix source code, you're going to have to rewrite it (2) You'll need to get versed in cross-compiling and/or adding the source ball to buildroot (3) C++ is...fun That said, it looks like a good application for Gumstix. You could even commercialize it ;) -marc On 7/18/07, Austin Cole <co...@wr...> wrote: > I am curious if it is possible to add external ram to the gumstix. Or > is the 128 on the xl6p enough?
