Hello All,

One of my project, I am looking for an SoC  that should have USB and Ethernet interface basically and it can be low end SoC. In software perspective, it should support Linux kernel. Can anyone suggest any SoC for this?


Thanks and Regards,
Muthu

How cheap are you looking for? There's the Raspberry Pi and similar which have graphics capability, as well as router chips that do not have graphics.
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.

Hi,

Actually, we want to use the development board of the SoC with USB and Ethernet connector. So, I kindly expect that the SoC to be suggested should have development board with USB 2.0/3.0 and Ethernet connector.

V3s?
Does it have development board?.If yes, could you share?. Also, is there anything similar to Raspberry Pi 3 ( ARM A53)?

First, we looked at Raspberry Pi 3 (ARM A53 processor) development board. Since it does not have Ethernet on its development board, we could not go with it. So, similar to Raspberry Pi 3. SoC without graphics capability is fine.

You should also look at the Beagle Bone Black and similar boards.  They have lots of I/O, reasonable graphics output if you want, and two 200 MHz 32-bit microcontrollers for doing interface tasks like bit flipping interface to other components.

Hi Blueskull,

Does V3s support USB HOST feature?...I don't see any boards with USB Type A connector


Thanks and Regards,

There are so many out there... how many units do you need? What is your budget? If the number of units is low (<100) then I'd go for a system on a module and not look at the price too much. I like the iMX6 and iMX8 SoCs from NXP. Don't go for a SoC which has a small memory (both RAM and storage) because cutting down the Linux distribution to fit the RAM and storage is going to eat all of your development budget. Choose a SoC which can run a standard Linux distribution because it will save you a ton of time.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

this one is good I have used the chip before has PetaLinux support for emmbedded linux.

The below link has some info on embedded linux for older boards but there are some other tutorials online
