Hi all, I have bought a development board from www.developmentboard.net couple days ago. The board is nice, and my development goes really well. However I have a problem now.
On this board I have been using WinCE 5.0 as the OS, and in these days I am thinking of changing the OS to embedded Linux. However as a beginner in this field, I do not know much about the embedded Linux systems. There are so many versions that I can hardly choose one. Would someone of you who has more experience in this field please tell me how to choose? or kindly help me to choose one? Thanks a lot! The specs of the board are as below:
