I've been looking to replace my COTS home weather station with a home-built system. I was working on it using the Raspberry Pi, but maybe this would be better and easier with access to the CPLD.

It's too bad the CPLD is not Xilinx, as I'm very familiar with their 'web-pack' tool kit.

COTS: Commercial off the shelf. CPLD: Complex Programmable Logic Device.

I've been playing with the Odroid-C2 quad-core Arm board for a couple weeks and have been pretty happy with it. However it looks like this quad-core Atom board might offer even more performance.

I'm older than that. :)
