Finally

Finally I get to sit down and start my proposal properly. I'm not saying I haven't been thinking about it. Of cause I have it's just been pushed towards the back of my mind whilst I sort other things out. I've put a few different operating systems on cards and tried booting into them. I've so far done this with the Pi the Rock and the Cubieboard. The Pi and the Rock both behaved well, where as the Cubieboard was a bust.
That's the problem with some of the SBC's they can be a labour of love for some small start-up companies and after release the support kind of dries up. People loose interest and move onto the next one.
That's fine things come and go and that's to be expected but a problem if it's not compatible with anything else out there.
This is why so many boards are based on the Raspberry Pi. The forums are plentiful and sizeable. The community appears friendly and helpful and as so many of them are variations on the original board and layout the tips, tricks and software are usually adaptable. So I'm hoping that I can make use of the wealth of information freely available across the internet to enable me to put together a functional prototype using the hardware I've got. Whilst implementing it on all three devices to see which one performs the best under testing.
