We’d bought an atmel 32 bit processor board ATNGW100 for our project.The main idea behind choosing this procesor board is Mr.Pramode C E from Thrissur(www.pramode.net). The board has general purpose input output pins ,serial port,32 mb SD RAM,8 mb flash and more over a preinstalled version of Linux 2.6.18 kernel.It looks beautiful and exciting for a newbie with its low cost $ 89 price.Indians still face a problem since if you order it via Fedex (reliable) it would cost around Rs 8000/- at home.Luckily we bought it via our friend Sujith’s cousin ,who came fro mUS ,thus escaping from the transportation fee and it cost around Rs 5000/- The board has gor a good reputation and easy interface and a lot of help from www.avrfreaks.com. Some clever guys at model engineering college Ernakulam is also doing an Internet Radio Receiver Project With this board.I ve got a contact from Kurien Polachen and he is also very helping ,to make the hardware work for us.
