Linux Microcontroller Board

WillWare writes "Here's a nifty microcontroller project being done by Ryerson Amateur Radio Club in Canada. They are building a SIMM board with a Motorola Dragonball (same processor as the Palm Pilot), 4 meg of flash, 8 meg of DRAM, some digital I/O pins, ports for Ethernet and RS-232, and able to drive a 320x240 LCD panel. This board is intended as a target for their MMU-less Linux port, which has previously been running on Palm Pilots. There has been mention on the mailing list of the possibility of running a Python interpreter on this board. This would be a huge win for rapid app development on embedded controllers. "
