Linux Home Automation Touchscreen PC

LinuxDevices have the scoop on this new Home Automation touchscreen PC.  The wall-mountable Techsol TPC-43 has a 4.3″ display with a resolution of 480×272.  Development kits are available now starting at $400.

“British Columbia-based embedded board and development services vendor Techsol announced a customizable touch-panel equipped single-board computer (SBC) based on Linux. Techsol’s ARM9-based TPC-43 Medallion is designed for the building automation market, and available with a ZigBee wireless networking option aimed at technically advanced home automation do-it-yourselfers.

The wall-mounted, 4.6 x 3.7 x 1-inch TPC-43 comes with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, compared to Techsol’s previous 3.5-inch TPC-35 model. Like the TPC-35, the TPC-43 is powered by an undisclosed ARM-920T-based system-on-chip (SoC) clocked at 200MHz or 266MHz. Techsol previously shipped a CPU module powered by a Samsung s3c2410a SoC that uses the same core.”
