Subject: [UPnP-SDK-discuss] libupnp on embedded platform?

I have done a lot of work on Windows, and I have built UPnP devices for 
Windows using the Microsoft Device Host library. Now I would like to
create 
a UPnP device in an embedded system.

Is anyone on this mailing list using libupnp on an embedded platform
(as opposed to a desktop or laptop)?
If so, what is your platform?

>>>>>>
Yes, I use libupnp to create my Home appliance agent software module on
Solutin Engine develop board. Solution Engine is a platform published by
Hitachi.
I use linux on this platform, and cross compile libupnp to linux env (
cross compiling is support by libupnp).
>>>>>>

I am considering the following platform.

Gumstix (http://www.gumstix.com)
CPU, Ethernet, TCP/IP, and Linux for about $160
Specifically mentions "Linux kernel 2.6.10", is this compatible with 
libupnp?

>>>>>>
libupnp can be run on 2.4.18/2.4.20-8/2.4.22 after my testing, I think
it can be run on 2.6 kernel. And I think, libupnp have no directly
relationship with kernel, she call just OS API.
>>>>>>

Any others to consider?
>>>>>>
For embedded hardware platform, I think ARM based system is all over the
world and many can support embedded Linux well.
You can reference other implement of embedded system for:
1. CPU performance
2. RAM capacity
3. FLASH capacity
4. Interface ( WiFi,Ether,IR,USB etc.)
...
those factors is related with you application.
>>>>>>

I have never worked with Linux before; so what else should I watch out
for?

Thanks,
Jake
