We need a
quick upgrade to an Arduino application, one that can run on a more industrial-class embedded processor. It's simple - receiving a RS485 serial command steam, parsing it and translating that information to an html string that is sent to a video camera over an ethernet LAN. Any advice on the best embedded platform to use? Torn between the A10-Lime and the RPI. Considerations include:
- Availability of RS485 adapters or GPIO
- Ability to "come up running" and not having to load an OS
- Availability of third party independent developers to help out
- Ability to reuse portions of the proven Arduino C code
