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?"

Dude....its a freaking news site. It doesn't even usually come up with its own articles. It gathers them from the net, and people discuss it. The "Gays" that run it put moderation in the hands of the people that use the site. Their power here is little. You however seem to only want to discuss gay sex and anuses being pryed open and how the management of this site enjoys that in thier spare time. I frankly don't give a shit...I say some ascii art, decided to look, and say an exposed anus. You talk abou how "meritocracy" isn't a word, concept or a dream and yet you post unfounded slander and links to exposed assholes. I think "common decency" is simply unheard of to you.

Who cares if you get modded down? It's not like you're freedom goes away--quit whining. It's not the end of the world--until your Karma gets below neutral of course (your posts then get ignored because they start at "0"). I always see posts that criticize (without slandering) articles/staff that get 5's. And well-formatted posts make them easier to read. IF you see someone with a "5" and well-formatted garbage, reply and show them how thier argument is bad. If you're ideas are good, well presented, and reflect thought, you're guaranteed at least a "3". Believe it or not, there is a correlation between the time taken to write a post and the thought put into it and therefore the merit of the post. The moderation system is not for people to exert power, supress critizism, or control people (you seem to liken /. to an opressive government). It's to make it easy for users to weed out the unformatted garbage/trolls from the more intelligible and thoughtful posts.

ITS A NEWS SITE

[GreyWolf3000]

Ok, since you're first post you're comments have evolved from distasteful ranting and goatse.cx links to strongly disagreeing and giving reasons for it--such disagreements contribute to the community as a whole and if you post such comments in a well-thought out intelligent manner, as I said before you will get modded up. I simply disagree with you because I can't fathom anyone actually enjoying the power trip of slashdot moderation and controlling people on a news for nerds site. It doesn't fundamentally make sense--you're premises therefore don't convince me enough to even conceptualize your conclusion.

BTW "oppressive" was not spelt incorrectly :)

This is rather funny

I began thinking you were some troll, and you turned out having a well thought out argument. I'm still not swayed by the whole geek-control thing, but I do agree there are a lot of trolls. I've been doing alot of experimentation of posting and what sort of messages get modded up and in "funny" posts I make fun of blind anti-M$ sentiment and I get modded down and flamed for exactly what I'm mocking...oh well
