Re: Linksys NSLU2
NSLU2? That's a Network Attached Storage Device, not a computing device.
Ok. so community hacking shows that it could be used for computing. Catch is, it will take a bit of modification to do. You do need to overclock the processor (if you want fast). You do need to reinstall the OS. Power requirements are not the same: NSLU2 runs on 5VDC, PDB supplies 12VDC.
Using this shouldn't be impossible. Fustrating? Possibly. Useful? Most likely. NSLU2 runs 256 MHz, 8(flash)+32(RAM) MB memory, cRIO runs c. 400 MHz, 256(non-volatile)+128(system) MB memory. You definitely could run a bit of processor intensive stuff off the cRIO.
Disclaimer: Our team has never used this.
