Hi, I want to design a gateway platform for home automation application that can expose its services to WLAN. The platform should also be able to support the Bluetooth connectivity. I am thinking to use an embedded Linux OS to enable it to execute the libupnp (UPnP SDK for linux) application for service discovery. Can any one suggest me a suitable embedded linux development board, more closed to above mentioned requirements. Regards,

Suggestions required for embedded linux platform

Or a $249 complete netbook PC. I've pretty much stopped trying to prototype small-run projects on ARM, etc. embedded Linux boards. It's so much easier (and, function for function, cheaper) to take a COTS x86 netbook and repurpose it.
