Thumbsize PCB.

BBC has run a story on a device that is cheap, small and seems to have a lot of potential for the UAV world. It can run linux, has ARM11 700Mhz, GPIO, SD/MCC-card slot and HDMI. It's the Raspberry Pi.

If this actually comes to market, it can be an interesting option for cheap embedded linux in UAV.

Check out the article and info:

Wow, this would be ten kinds of awesome; bookmarked.
16 GB SD card can hold a full blown Linux distro; DSL comes to mind, seems almost made for this, actually.
