Thanks. Have you managed to avoid the freeze-up issue due to the clock problems on certain Atom processors (Bay Trail, and possibly others) due to a conflict with the kernel being used in the Dial release (apparently, a CPU problem, but a problem nonetheless)?

I have purchased a few using the Intel Atom CPU, they are not super fast,
but I have had 4 URI's connected with no issues, and internet streaming as well on one node... they are inexpensive, and no fan on them, got 12V power supplies for them, mounted it all in a 1U rack, but there are plenty of other small form factor PC's like that if you just want a desktop style (mini) computer. Some are "Industrial" type, might look at what amazon has, etc...

Hello,
I am brand new to this list and Allstar (although I have been using Asterisk for well over a decade). I would like to run three URIs off of one PC running Dial. The PC will also communicate with at least three RTCMs at other locations. I ASSuME, based on this requirement, that a mini-PC would be the best platform (and not a Rasberry Pi or other ARM based processor). Please correct me if this is wrong (as I'd love to get away with a super low power $35 computer).
What mini-PC platforms have people successfully used (IOW, what mini-PCs would you suggest I look into)? I'd like something relatively inexpensive, low power, and with no moving parts (for a difficult to reach remote location at high elevation).
I've been looking into the Qotom mini-PCs, however, many of them seem to be based on the J1900, and I have heard that the Intel "Bay Trail" processors (of which the J1900 is one) have some clock issues due to a conflict with the (Debian) kernel being used in the Dial/Allstar project. I don't know if newer releases of the processor have fixed this, or if it applies to every single Bay Trail processor ever produced. Perhaps someone can expound on this for me, as well.
Thank you!
