I'm curious as well why you'd be using x86 processors in embedded devices. Care to share?

- monocasa 7y agoNot the parent, but they can be nice for com express modules. Upgrade the SOM board without having to do an I/O board spin.
- willangley 7y ago(Also not the parent) I've seen this in robotics; a lot of code in that space has been tested for a long time on x86 computers [^1], and only more recently been looked at on ARM. I think this is also common in industrial embedded systems, since I periodically see ads to buy hardware for them [^2]. I'm not entirely sure why :).
