Hi All,

I am new to embedded system development and need your advice on my
upcoming project.  I thank and appreciate your help in advance.

I'd like to setup a development environment that includes a
microprocessor which supports output to LCD as well as input/output
based on Ethernet and 802.11.  The software platform is better based
on Linux with GNU tool chain.

Please kindly suggest what is available on the market that fits the
above requirement.

Thanks again,

Bill

One of the gumstix configurations probably has the capabilities you
want.

Are you looking for a board the meets those requirements, or are you
interested in laying out your own PCB and going into production?

I ask this because a systems integrator needs to look at a whole different
class of products than a circuit designer. And WiFi is mostly a modular
option, with all the CF and SD card options.

I am looking for a board that's available on the market so that I can
build my application on it.

Why exactly does a laptop or mini laptop (e.g. Eee) not meet your
requirements>?

http://www.gumstix.com using Open Embedded with a Linux development host
http://www.netburner.com running uC/OS
or possibly, http://www.chumby.com/ with arm-linux-v4.1.2b, gcc4.1.2

Pity about the last part... most professional tools are on the PC 
platform.

Linux is available on a PC platform. I think you mean Windows.

If by "PC platform" you meant "Windows", (a) that isn't really true
these days, and (b) the impression I got from the OP is that he wants
the OS on the target to be Linux, not necessarily the host OS. Not
that it makes much difference - it's the path of least resistance to
develop for Linux targets on a Linux host anyway.
