Hello Jean Sebastien

The groundstation runs on a Linux laptop - The airborne code has strong real
time and high availability constraints that make the use of an OS no so
desirable.
Nevertheless we are aware that payload applications might benefit an OS -
This is why our next generation board is designed as a gumstix
(ARM9)daughterboard, where the autopilot runs in a pair of ARM7
microcontrollers and can be controlled by a gumstix/linux application.
Here is a picture of the first prototype

porting the autopilot to the robostix board ( single avr mega128 gumstix
daughter board )

'all-in-one' ARM7 board, nicknamed Tiny
Here is a picture of the beast
