RJ45-sized Linux networking server goes IPv6
- sn0v 13y agoAm I missing something or does the article not state how much RAM the server comes with?
- lettergram 13y agoIt comes with 8Mb of SDRAM http://linuxgizmos.com/worlds-smallest-linux-webserver/ http://linuxgizmos.com/worlds-smallest-linux-webserver/
- mdmarra 13y agoIt actually comes with 16MB. Also, it's MB not Mb. The difference between the two is a factor of 8.
- justincormack 13y agoIt says 16MB. Nowhere can I find what the CPU architecture is though.
- jlgaddis 13y agoIn the same sentence. :) > The 32-bit RISC CPU appears to be the same, but instead of coming standard with 8MB SDRAM, it now ships with the previously optional 16MB.
- Shish2k 13y agoIIRC RISC is a category of architecture, rather than a concrete implementation
- throwaway_yy2Di 13y agoI can't either, but a Google search suggests the previous version used Freescale's ColdFire MCF5208: http://forums.lantronix.com/showthread.php?t=857 http://forums.lantronix.com/showthread.php?t=857 http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MCF520X http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?co...
- losethos 13y agoA subset of mine would be pleasant. Perhaps, once mine becomes popular, people who are fond of mine will use it. If they had the familiarity I have, they could easily put it on an embedded system. It's easy to strip down. I'm not going to react to this. I'm not going to make a stripped-down version. How far do you strip it down? You can strip it down to nothing, but what sense does that make? I don't have ethernet. This is not on my agenda.

- nicholassmith 13y agoOut of curiousity does anyone use any of these style devices? And if so what for?
- RankingMember 13y agoYeah these sort of "look at how small this fully functional computer is" pieces always make me wonder if they have a real world appeal or if they're more a proof-of-concept or tech demo to pull people's attention to the company's other products.
- em3rgent0rdr 13y agoThey say target use is internet of things. Makes for a great personal server too. I use a bunch of really small boards for fun, but not this small.
- throwaway2048 13y agothis would be fantastic for corporate espionage, snap one into an unused to drop somewhere and you have a beachhead inside the network. Combine it with a Micro SD card you have a great way to exfiltrate data via weekly/monthly data drops, without setting off external firewalls.
- joezydeco 13y agoI didn't see PoE on this device, you need to supply 3.3VDC to make it run. So do you want to attach a wall wart? I don't think it will run long off a lithium cell.
- SwellJoe 13y agoI immediately imagined adding web UIs, or simply network APIs, to various "dumb" hardware. Attach it to a ADC/DAC and suddenly a lot of things become computer controllable. It's small enough to stick it on most electronic device boards without major changes.
- tlarkworthy 13y agoRobotics, consolidate all your sensors and controllers onto Ethernet. Its quite hard finding a microcontroller with good Ethernet.
- splitbrain 13y agoIsn't IPv6 a feature of the Linux networking stack? Shouldn't everything that runs Linux be IPv6 capable? Or is there some IPv6 stuff implemented in hardware here?
- wmf 13y agoMany embedded devices compile out IPv6 to save flash and RAM.
- ghshephard 13y agoThe author writing this article picked up something nonsensical - the entire second half suggested they knew little to nothing about the IPv6 protocol, and this devices implications for such, including statements like, " formally launched in June 2012. "
- Akujin 13y agoI wish this thing was double sided so I can make a router out of it.
- billpg 13y agoI read "RJ45-sized" and thought they meant the size of the connector.
- candeira 13y agoIt's the size of a (female) connector.
- sschueller 13y agoNow if it had PoE it would be awesome
