I'm wanting to start a new project for a while and found most of the things i want to implement can be done on a PC easy. So i was thinking of making a little LINUX based board or something..

I remember a board already like the one i plan on doing but forgot the name... Its a Blue PCB with a LCD on it. I think it ran linux but not sure.

It was called BLUE something? Does anyone know what im talking about?

In any case can someone point me to a LINUX/ARM board... I'm trying to find something that is not BGA like the A13... this would drop PCB development cost down by so much

Any links to similar information would be great as well.

Thanks

Look at Raspberry Pie or Beagle Bone Black.

I have a Raspberry PI and BeagleBoard XM but they are too bulky... i need something like a SBC (single board computer) but with no Peripherals ... just CPU/RAM/FLASH on it and broken out pins for my use.

https://www.voipac.com/#X25-DMM-254 ($58)

They are SO-DIMM modules of SBC.
