Gumstix - Motherboards

Motherboards

Gumstix motherboards are single-board computers available in two different configurations. The brand names for these are Overo Earth and Verdex Pro. The Overo Earth uses a TI OMAP 3503 processor running at 600 MHz and has 256 MB of SDRAM, the Verdex Pro uses a Marvell XScale PXA270 processor running at 400 or 600 MHz with up to 128 MB of SDRAM. Both boards run Linux 2.6 with BusyBox, and use the OpenEmbedded build environment to provide a full-blown Linux environment and a large range of Linux applications.

Additional features can be added to all motherboards with expansion cards connected via one or both on-board buses. The motherboards draw less than 250 mA @4V at 400 MHz without Bluetooth and less than 50 mA while idling.
