Re: Co-Processor?

I would use a co processor (running linux, vxworks, qnx, whatever..) this year as long as the box supported wireless networking and could run interpreters for some scripting languages (python/ruby/perl/whatever).

I think it would make programming, tuning, and debugging a whole lot easier, as you could make changes to the software in real time. Default access to a file system is also handy.
