>From what I can find on the web, the Vocera badges use a TI DSP (C54xx series) >and therefore run DSP/BIOS, not Linux. If later model badges run Linux, then it might be an ARM device (for example TI OMAP series). But it's highly unlikely the badge runs x86-something as Intel doesn't have any chip that small and with that level of power consumption. That's the basic reason why Intel isn't inside any smart phone. -Jeff > I've worked with these before.
