Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] What single-board computers (SBCs) work well with GNURadio?

I'm running a b200 on a gigabyte brix (about a 5-inch cube). Mine's a couple of years old, quad core "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570R CPU @ 2.70GHz", has at 4 usb3.0 ports, and runs ubuntu. The onboard intel graphics do a pretty good job with fosphor.

I'm looking for recommendations for a small computer to use in an embedded GNURadio product.  By "small" I mean small enough that the whole system can be portable, like the size of a lunchbox or smaller.  It will connect to an Ettus USRP B200mini-i, which communicates using USB 3.0.  The application is fairly compute intensive, so a fast, multi-core processor will make life easier.

 

I've researched a few Single Board Computers (SBCs).  Low-end SBCs don't look like a good idea.  For example, the Rasperry Pi 3 has a relatively slow processor, and only supports USB 2.0.  Here are a few products I'm considering:

 

LattePanda SBC

• Intel Cherry Trail Z8350 quad-core processor 1.44 GHz
• USB 3.0 x 1, USB 2.0 x 2
• Size: 3.5" x 2.75"
• RAM: 2–4 GB DDRL3L
• Storage: 32–64 GB eMMC
• Can run Ubuntu
• Price: about $120.00

 

UP Board SBC

• Intel Atom x5 Z8350 64-bit, quad core processor 1.44GHz
• USB 3.0 x 1, USB 2.0 x 4
• Size: 3.37" x 2.22"
• RAM: 4GB
• Storage: 64 GB eMMC
• Can run Ubuntu
• Price: about $150.00

 

INTEL NUC Board NUC7i5DNBE

• Intel® Core™ i5-7300U dual core processor, up to 2.6 GHz
• USB 3.0 x 1, USB 2.0 x 2
• Size: 4" x 4"
• RAM: up to 32 GB
• Storage: M.2 SSD slot - any size(?)
• Comes with Windows 10, but can probably run Ubuntu
• Price: about $400.00

Does anyone have any experience with these, or have another recommendation?

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
