Hello,
Thanks , Gilad, I was not aware of that is was missing Ethernet.
Ethernet is a must for me. I found out now that there is also no
wireless in BeagleBoard. Is it also a disadvantage.
I found that the BeagleBoard price (150$) is quite attractive
comparing to other boards.
One easy solution is to get a Beagleboard and add Ethernet and/or
wireless via USB dongles. I think it is the cheapest solution.
I found it very useful, maybe you too:

Thanks for this link.
I must add that I am quite a newbie in this. I saw in their homepage
a variety of products. Any idea if I should look for
similar board to the Beagle (same SoC) in their evaluation kits
section (like VAR-DVK-OM35, VAR-DVK-MX25 and the rest) or
Single Board Computers (like VAR-OM35) or maybe
System on Modules ?
you would need some thing like this:

Note, however, that it is more expensive then a beagle board by an order
of a magnitude. Also, there is naturally hardly any material about this
specific board as opposed to the beagle. Much of the beagle material
applies here as well, but obviously not the parts about the peripherals
that are not included in the beagle.
Good luck,
Gilad

Hi,
As you know, BeagleBoard can run Linux.

Does somebody know where it can be bought in Israel?
There is a company in Herzeliya Pituch that sells a very similar board to
the Beagle (same SoC) that also has some much needed peripheral the Beagle
is missing, such as Ethernet, touch screen and HDMI port.
