Limey on Intel D2700MUD Questions
Hi, I've read the Limey docs, saw the D2700MUD was supported and got one. Now building the system, but not with a lot of Linux exp. Drive Question: I could use a 128MB CF card in a CF/SATA adapter, or I see the D2700MUD board has a Mini PCIe port where I could put an SSD. The SSD would be a clean cable, all-components-on-the-motherboard system and looks attractive. If I used an SSD, would I still be able to use the standard Limey binary/image intended for the CF? RTCM vs URIx and system scalability/performance: I'm aiming to use this system to control a co-located VHF and UHF repeater. (ICOM FR-5000/6000) It may also have an additional repeater or link added over time - possibly 4 radios. Do I need to be concerned about performance of this D2700 system with 4 radios? Is there a performance advantage in using the RTCM as the radio interface in that it seems to process COR in the RTCM rather than n the PC? Any hints or tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Randy
I have no idea whether the PCIe SSD would work.. You can always try it :-) If you are intending to use that many URI's you should probably consider using chan_simpleusb as to not overtask your system. I hope it has that many on-board USB slots.

Thanks Jim, I studied things a bit more, and found that the D2700MUD supports something called eUSB. An embedded USB flash drive which fits over a specific USB header on the MoBo, and has a locking screw. Found some 1GB eUSB boards on eBay and will give that a go as the system drive. D2700MUD has 7 USB ports. 4 external ports on the back panel 3 internal ports via headers on the MoBo. I'm building two systems with 12V power supplies. Will report on how things go / photos etc. -R On Sat, Oct 20, 2012 at 1:44 PM, Jim Duuuude <telesistant@hotmail.com>wrote:
