We have a custom base-station unit for Living Independently. But it has a custom (not by us) VM and nasty scripting language.

I'd like to find a box (cost below $100) that could be developed for with an Agile Programming Language...

LinuxOS on XBox? http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~ranma1/legal.html

LinkSys WiFi box? http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20040527.html

• http://www.openwrt.org/

• run Aster Isk PBX on it

Recent [DDJ] article

• ref to TcpIp Lean: Web Server-s for [Embedded Systems] ISBN:157820108X

I guess I need to track SenSor technology a bit, too.

Outcome:

• [ZigBee] RF protocol

• for single-client unit, playing with [EWayCo] MiniItx box - $100

  • I might consider this for a super-lite Home Server (for [Wiki Host])

    • the [FitPc] is a bit more expensive, but includes Hard Drive.

• for multi-client situations, playing with [Logic Supply] MiniItx - $500

TimBray noted [Greg Papadopoulos] showed these at dinner; the round thing is the world's smallest secure Web server, with [HTTPS] and elliptic cryptography built in; the other is some sort of smart sensor with a radio and accelerometer and other stuff, runs Java of course. The next rev will be way smaller.

running PyThon on cheap hardware?

JyThon?

[PyMite]? http://www.python.org/pycon/papers/pymite/

Pytte? http://effbot.org/zone/pytte.htm

[WhatOS] uses PyThon to generate a C [RTOS]? http://www.sticlete.com/whatos/index.html

This article is about running Python in a Hitachi [SH]-1 system (work done in 1999)

• that's the family of [CPU]-s used in Sega video game systems. Now licensed by Renesas

• it's called the [SuperH] architecture and there are [LinxuOS] distros for it.

Unununium http://unununium.org/introduction

PyPy is an attempt to implement PyThon entirely in PyThon, to allow it to be used on an even wider array of platforms. Doesn't sound ready for use, but worth watching....

other Agile Programming Language-s on cheap hardware?

this article talks about an [OOVM] that uses Small Talk and fits in 128kb.
