This month we are evaluating a open source Linux-based computer-on-module (COM) from Gumstix, Inc for use in future applications. The Overo Air module comes with an OMAP 3503 ARM Cortex-A8 600 MHz CPU, W2CBW003 System-in-Package (SiP) that provides 802.11g and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, an on-board microSD card slot and is pre-flashed with Linux 2.6.29, Ångström distribution.

Today, a new workstation arrived at the office from System76 with Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) pre-installed. Ubuntu is a community developed Debian-based Linux distribution. Right out of the box I was able to plug it into our network and start configurating the system to be used as our new OpenEmbedded development environment. OpenEmbedded (OE) is a cross-compiler framework for developing Linux-based embedded systems.
