Re: A suitable x86 based board


Actually we are doing this for an small automotive, which we have been building. Now I think durin experiments, the hard-disk might not withstand the physical strain.

So is it possible to boot from usb ?

Yeah PC Motherboard is also fine. But what I wanted was that is it
possible to do away with a floppy drive totally ?

We have hard-disk/usb pen drive for logging data ..
And we have ideflash.

Is it possible to have the application on the hard-drive/usb-pen drive
/flash such that manual loading can be done away with.

Sorry if the question is too naive .. 

I think if you use grub on the hard disk this should be possible. I've
not done it myself though....
