I've been looking for an alternative to Raspberry Pi for a project. Perhaps someone on HN can suggest a solution. Here's what I need:
- Run minimal embedded Linux (LAMP)
- No graphics/GUI required
- Ethernet connector
- Power connector for wall-mounted adapter (P5 or something like that)
- Serial port header for debugging
- Second serial port for other I/O
- Maybe a couple of LED's or an 8 bit port available for status LEDs
- SD card for OS (just like R-Pi)
- No other peripherals or I/O needed
- Low cost (ideally $25 or less)
Barring a pre-existing board, any suggestions for a low-cost processor to design a board around that could run a bare-bones LAMP setup? A lot of what I see out there (like the i.MX233) have built-in peripherals such as LCD and touch-screen controllers that would be overkill for this project.
