Title: Improv
Post by: Legimet on November 26, 2013, 10:30:43 pm

I just read about the new open hardware engineering board Improv. From the website, it appears to be completely open hardware, and it comes preinstalled with a GNU/Linux distro called Mer.
The specs are here (http://makeplaylive.com/index.html#/open-hardware/improv/discover). Looks really cool.

This is getting closer to the barebones NAS I want. So what is it? 100MBit or GBit Ethernet?

Hopefully AMD will offer their ARM Server Chip at hobbyist prices with (slightly) lowered specs,too.
It's the combination of _fast_ SATA and _fast_ Ethernet that I don't see a solution at prices I'm willing to pay. Marvell Armada XP could have been that.
