Low Cost SBC Dev Kits for Embedded App Training?

SmilingMonk writes "The company I work for is looking to train engineers fresh out of school on embedded software development. It seems to be specialized enough field of interest that it might be helpful for some people to 'get their feet wet' developing embedded solutions on in-expensive SBC ^? s before they are handed off to the product lines. A low cost ($400) full featured solution we recently stumbled across is the eCOG1 Development Environment. Yes, we've been to LinuxDevices, but feel compelled to ask which similarly featured low priced SBCs others have used that we could have our trainees develop embedded Linux applications on?"

We are giving a seminar to a number of engineering students with the same goal and have put a lot of material online.

More information should become online on DSPInfoExchange, but as with most companies, promises, promises, promises... If you are interested, you can always contact me for the rest.

If you have a look at the Texas Instruments website and look for DSP Fest or Developer's Conference, you'll find a lot of relevant material. They promised to release linux tools a couple of weeks ago on the tidevcon 2002 (not the full blown gfx interface, but rather gdb like) for the 'C6000 line. Let's hope they deliver :)
