Re: Best board for vision processing (beagle/panda/beaglebone/etc?)

Hello all, some more information from my earlier post.

I was running Ubuntu 11.04 on the beagleboard which ofcourse is an ARM processor. As it turns out, ubuntu removed support in the kernel for some of the features that I was trying to link against, and there really is no way of gettng this package to compile under 11.04 on arm. So, I did discover that OpenCV can be built into the kernel under Angstrom using the narcissus image building tool so that is what I am off to attempt now.

As a positive side effect of this, the beagle board now is clocking at 1Ghtz, rather than the 650 that ubuntu was running at, since the angstrom image is better optimized for this hardware.
