I've been looking for ideas on finding a cheap device that could run some kind of linux and GpsD. Basically this means the device must have a serial port, ethernet port and be able to be hacked easily to run linux. The goal here is to have a device where I can hook my Gps up to it, hook the ethernet port to the empeg, and then point GpsApp to the device as an GpsD source, thus freeing up the empeg's serial port in the car.
I've been reading a lot on SeattleWireless looking for devices to hack to run Linux and the Linksys WRT54g looks promising, two serial ports can be modded onto it, but it's relatively expensive and would be kind of a waste of a 802.11g router to keep it in my car all the time. There are some other 802.11b routers that can be hacked, but they look kind of difficult to deal with. Does anyone have any other ideas for devices I could use to run GpsD with?
