No ?  FGCom is a perfect match for BeagleBoard-style computers and I
know this actually had been one of the development goals, so you could
have your radio comms in a neat interface box, no matter which hardware
is running FlightGear.

As a preparatory step, if you're really planning to shift FGCom into
FG, then it's probably worth considering the 'cost' of porting
FlightGear, at least those parts of the build system which would be
required to build FGCom, to a stripped-down Linux on ARM  ;-)

Cheers,
