I'm looking to build an SBC-based wearable and it looks like the preferred board is the Advantech PCM-5822. I have looked at their webpage and it doesn't tell me very much. What would I need to get it running? It says it supports two IDE devices....can I just hook up a CDROM and a hard drive and install Linux? Do I need an extra cable to get a regular IDE connector? And, the webpage tells you almost nothing about size. Sure, it's 14cm X 10cm but how tall is it? I have heard that all the connectors are on one side. What connectors does it have? How many serial ports? I think it says two on the web page. Third, what's supported under Linux? I have heard people say that playback is supported on the MediaGX chip but record isn't. That's ok with me...as long as playback works :). I have also heard that the TV out is supported...right? Fourth...power. I am supposed to use two sony li-ions right? Then a DC-DC converter. But do I run the sonys in series or parallel? What kind of DC-DC converter do you guys recommend? Thanks! Joe
