arm boards for embedding bluez

Hey

Does anyone have a feel for what is available now for doing embedded bluez stuff with arm? I would like to put together something with a class 1 adapter... it seems like there was talk of a board for embedding that had class 1 built in but I can't find it in the archives and googling reveals a bunch of designs that have probably been abandoned.

I am hoping that by doing linux on arm, it would be cheaper/smaller/cooler than the $200+ each that a small x86 barebones board costs, eg: http://www.kontron.com/products/pdproductdetail.cfm?keyProduct=32658&kps=1689&kpc=237&keySiteRegion=1

but 300Mhz/IDE/VGA is overkill for this... I just want something that could stream a2dp & do voip to a headset and act as an access point for a bluetooth pda.

Hi Brad,

how about this:

http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/BuildABlueSlug

Haven't tried it myself (yet), but looking forward to the nearing Beta release of OpenSlug to build a cheap and low-power bluetooth access point/NAS.

Regards.
Matthias

In reply to Matthias Thomae

Matthias,

Yes, this looks very interesting. Maybe hackable consumer devices are the way to go instead of eval boards for small projects.

For asterisk+btsco, it even sounds like someone has gotten asterisk to run on a box with similar specs (wrt54gs) but I wish there was a little more wiggle room than just 32MB ram.

I had no luck trying to find anything suitable with included line-in to do live a2dp streaming. A usb audio dongle could work with the slug I guess :(
