Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Mark,
I'm developing softIOC on: Raspberry, BeagleBoneBlack and Aria.
I've an application designed to hundred of this kind of IOCs and like
you I don't know what could happen using those on production, more than
this:
What is the smartest and flexible and robust bus to adds I/O on arm
embedded ?
This kind of hardware could have a great future,
shall we try to select a common hw to share the developments effort ?
..open on sourceforge and "EPICSonARM" repo maybe a first step sharing
the code
Sorry Mark few infos from me, plus another questions,
Thanks,
-Mauro

...the first EPICS installation to the project SPES realized from the
scratch in ITALY is in production since begin 2010!!

Greetings
I am looking at controlling some devices in my system using small SBC cards (e.g., PC104) and/or embedded small form factor PCs. I'm not very familiar with the products available and was hoping to get some advice on this forum as to what products people are using, what pitfalls are out there, and general experiences with similar setups. I'm not looking at doing anything fancy, just run a soft IOC on a linux system to control one or two devices. I only need the standard I/O (serial, USB, network, perhaps some DIO). It doesn't need to be exceptionally rugged, though it will be running 24/7 in a fairly warm and dusty room, and may be unplugged and moved around regularly.
I want good software support. To me that means it comes pre-installed with a standard, supported linux distribution and I can cross-compile EPICS more or less out-of-the-box without having to resort to a lot of four-letter words.
We tried doing this on a Raspberry Pi - works great, certainly for prototyping. Cross-compiled and ran easily. But I'm not sure I want to use a RPi in production (or maybe it is good enough? Opinions?).
Any product info, experiences, thoughts, and opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
