Good point. Then you can worry about whether bluez can be built to work on an ARM processor -- if it will, then your possibilities for a good, cheap microcontroller open up immensely. If the LAN bridge part isn't already a part of Linux then you'll probably find yourself rolling your own, which may be why such a thing isn't out there yet. -- www.wescottdesign.com |
