We would like to use enough processing power to run our app, but not much more, in order to keep the heat down. However, we do like to have a math coprocessor. An Intel '486 might do the job, with an inexpensive and simple ROM DOS. We've used a Pentium for something similar, but many of the single board computer mfrs tend to ratchet up the performance (most people want this) and you get a lot more heat. I agree it could take months, but we've used the "tool chain" before while doing the line-by-line coding method of software development. We were hoping that experience would help streamline the initial development of the "tool chain" Steve G.

Looking for any experiences with the new Embedded Development Module to a non-NI target board/processor, such as an Intel-based PC/104 board. Is there anybody out there doing this? If so, what is your take on the process of configuring your "tool chain" (compiler, target O/S, target processor and drivers)? Also, any other ideas or feedback?
