[edit] Stargate 2 The Stargate 2 has its roots in The Personal Server which is a new class of mobile device that utilizes advances in processing, storage, and communication technologies to provide ubiquitous access to personal information and applications through the existing fixed infrastructure. The Stargate 2's general design and rich set of connects also makes it an ideal gateway and robotics platform. SG2 Status and ToDos

[edit] Intel Mote 2 The Intel Mote 2 project team seeks to create a new platform design that delivers a high level of integration as well as low-power operation in a small physical size. Features of the new platform include modular hardware and software design; system power management; and low-cost, high volume production potential.

[edit] Stargate 1 (http://platformx.sourceforge.net) Stargate 1 (http://platformx.sourceforge.net) is the first generation Stargate. Its support structure has not yet been integrated into our Wiki site. These links will take you to its Sourceforge site.
