Re: [naviserver-devel] naviserver on the raspberry pi

[Gustaf N. <ne...@wu...>]

Dear all,

over the weekend, i did some tests with NaviServer on the intel galileo 
board which based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000 (400 MHz), announced last 
year. The same processor is used well in the Intel Edison designed for 
wearable devices, see e.g. [1]. The Galileo board combines an x86 
architecture with Arduino compliance.

Building NaviServer for the Galileo was more tricky since one has 
essentially to cross-compile using the yocto tool chain. The good news 
is that cross-compiling worked nicely when starting from the tar file. 
The measured performance is about half the speed of raspberry, but for 
clicking around it feels quite zippy.

all the best
