Description
The Linuxstamp is designed to be a general purpose processor module. It is designed to work as a stand alone module (SD card, ethernet and USB/Serial converter are all on the module). This allows all initial development to be done without a motherboard, but for integration into a specific project a motherboard with specific features could be designed.
Features
- Atmel AT91RM9200 processor (Arm9 processor with MMU)
- 32Mb SDRAM (Only limited by 1x 54-TSOP SDRAM chip)
- 8Mb SPI Dataflash
- 1x 10/100 Ethernet
- 1x USB host port
- 1x SD card slot
- Serial debug port access through FTDI USB/Serial converter
- JTAG port
- 2-Layer PCB design

Booting
The AT91RM9200 has several features the faciliate easy booting. There is a good description of the booting order here. The AT91RM9200 will look at the dataflash for an initial program to execute. Atmel provides a tiny program that lives in the Dataflash and loads u-boot.
Cross Compilier
In order to compile for the AT91RM9200 we need to build a cross compilier. Dan Kegel has created a very useful tool for building a cross compilier. I am using Fedora 6 (x86_64) as my host system. After downloading and extracting crosstool I made two small changes. In the "demo-arm.sh" file I changed the eval line to
- "eval 'cat arm.dat gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.2.dat' sh all.sh --notest"
In the "arm.dat" file I changed the TARGET to "arm-linux" (By default u-boot looks for arm-linux-* tools). Now if you run "demo-arm.sh" you should get a cross compilier.

Pricing
The parts cost for qty 1 is $75 from digikey, and $55 for qty 100
I'm sure this can be greatly reduced with higher quantity
We will make a small run soon, and I will let you know when these are available
Discussion
Can I plug a USB peripheral into the Linuxstamp, such as a USB Wifi adapter? --DavidCary 22:02, 17 April 2007 (PDT)
Yes, any USB device that is supported by the kernel should work with the Linuxstamp. --Linuxvolts 23:15, 18 April 2007 (PDT)
