This would be very cool if you can get this to work. <br><br>KE6UPI<br><br>P.S.

One of the things I have wanted to do, ever since I got interested in<br>
running a node of my own, is to create a very small node package. I've been<br>
working with the BeagleBoard ( <a href="http://beagleboard.org" target="_blank">http://beagleboard.org</a> ) for awhile now and<br>
think it would be ideal for building a Pico Node. This Pico Node could even be<br>
worn on a person with everything required to operate (including internet<br>
device). My current Beagle is a rev C3, which is 600 Mhz with 256 MB RAM. The<br>
latest Beagle-xM version is 1 GHz, and has 512 MB RAM, Ethernet, 4x USB 2.0<br>
host, stereo sound in/out, and all expansion headers and connectors already<br>
soldered in.<br>
<br>
That said, I'd really like to see if AllStarLink can be built on a<br>
BeagleBoard. I already have development images build for Beagle that includes<br>
a complete GCC toolchain, and have built software such as Python right on the<br>
board. I think a Beagle-xM could make a great Pico Node. Couple the Beagle-xM<br>
with a CradlePoint CTR-500 portable WiFi router, a wireless dongle of your<br>
choice, battery supply, and you have a completely portable and very<br>
lightweight Pico Node.<br>
<br>
I need to get another URI for experimentation. Hopefully, I can do that<br>
this coming month.<br>
<br>
You up for this, Jim? :) :)<br>
