very true........... 
But i measured complexity as relative entity.

Most probably TS3400 system
(http://www.embeddedx86.com/epc/ts3400-spec-h.html)..

Wow, nice to know. Keep it up....
Thank you very much for  your interest to Help us.
Of cource we will be requiring hardwares to test. But For now, rather
than hardware help, we need technical help on solving problems (design
issue, bugs) because we are out of number.

Yes that is very true.....
but i dont have any experience in Hardwares (electronics) but learning
though. But very fond of Computer Architectutre...... I Have to learn
a lot of things from you guys. I will visit your Company after my
Exam.........

Yes, you are very correct. 
Due to the nature of the design(unixy nature), dynamic  property, it
is unsuitable for Hard Real Systems. For now we are trying to make
soft realtime. Though a very long way to go.
 

And please if you have any suggestions on how to carry out this
project,  what to add/remove? What kind of vision it should
be........... let us know.....

thanks
