Description

The Atabox is an $8 computer based of the Atmega328. It runs the webLinux Os and supports the bitlash and c programming languages. I am hoping to port python to the platform but have had no luck so far. It costs $8-$10 dollars. The interface is command line, but supports further graphical modifications.

Abstract

The Atabox is an $8 computer based of the <A href="http://www.atmel.com/devices/ATMEGA328.aspx">Atmega328. It runs the webLinux Os and supports the Bitlash and c programming languages. I am hoping to port python to the platform but have had no luck so far. It costs $8-$10 dollars. The interface is command line, but supports further graphical modifications. The homepage is at http://atabox.wlinux.mobi. The webLinux OS can be put in the flash memory of the chip, but sd card support with a modified os allows it to run bitlash programs from an sd card. It is fully open source, with the os source released regularly, and allows for custom OSes to built and uploaded.
