I acquired a single board computer made by Cogent Computer Systems, circa 2008. The development board, or “baseboard“ is a CSB703, with a CSB733 CPU module. I can’t seem to find any useful documentation to operate it. It has a 4.3” LCD touchpad, sockets for CF & an SD card. I think it will run Linux, not sure which version,or exactly how it boots, I assume through the CF or SD socket.
When I apply 12v, the screen lights with a few logos, but nothing more.
Seems the company died, and took most of of the documents with them. This was a fairly expensive item 15 years ago, trying to decide if I should keep it to play with, or stop wasting time and get rid of it. I know a little about building PCs from years ago, and would love to learn about single board computing, starting to think I should start off with something simpler and widely supported.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
