Hello all
I am an low lvl embedded programmer most of the time (8 bit ASM

) and am very unfamiliar with linux.
I have a device that I am in the process of designing that requires me to interface a plug computer with some embedded sensor arrays.
I'm pretty much looking for the easy way to enable the plug to throw commands out of the USB port to an embedded device that will tell the sensors what to do then the embedded processor will relay values back to the plug for more processing and net posting.
I am looking at a couple of devices for the hardware interface

software wise I am a little lost on what do
Help, links suggestions? Thanks
