-It is a concept using a physical specification of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Card|PCMCIA card]]. It is advantageous in that new ARM circuits are usually in BGA package that needs a multi-layer PCB, making the small-scale production of such devices very expensive.  [[http://elinux.org/Embedded_Open_Modular_Architecture/EOMA-68|EOMA-68 specification]] solves this problem by enclosing such PCB to a former PC Card format and leads the peripheries out in a standardised pin-format. Such card can be than used for various hardware realisations and can be produced in larger quantities, making the whole production process cheaper - for the end product, in which the card is implemented, two-layer PCB is sufficient.+It is a concept using a physical specification of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Card|PCMCIA card]].

 All of the above-mentioned computer contain [[cs:i2c|I²C]] bus, which makes it easy to connect various sensors or some simpler actuators. Furthermore, it commonly contains serial link that makes it able to connect GPS and [[en:time_sync|accurate time synchronisation ]]. All of the above-mentioned computer contain [[cs:i2c|I²C]] bus, which makes it easy to connect various sensors or some simpler actuators.

-A problem common to all the computers is a mechanical construction that is incompatible not only with MLAB brick system. Another issues is a production instability - most of the computers will not be produced the following year, or at least not in the above-mentioned configuration. Therefore, it will be useful to create an own open-source solution to computing hardware that can be used to build a network of detection and measuring stations.+A problem common to all the computers is a mechanical construction that is incompatible not only with MLAB brick system.
