Operating System Question

Can EZB run under Linux? I am thinking about a mini single board on my robot to make it automonius (excuse the spelling) and have speak ect on board rather than coming from my desktop. The Strawberry PI runs a version of Linux and is quite inexpensive. Thoughts?

Windows XP or greater only.

The Raspberry Pi isn't powerful enough for the EZB.

Mini ITX boards are roughly 100x100mm and are often used as on board computers for controlling the robots. Windows 7 or Windows 8 were the most energy efficient Operating Systems in my tests and both are fully supported by ARC.

Yes it does, but not ARC. There is a linux SDK, Ez Openbot, google it. And I've made a port that runs on mono if you want it also.
