So this little thing is a tiny little x86 box built into an rj45 jack.
It has ethernet, serial, and three bits of digital I/O. It also has 256KB of SRAM and 512KB of flash.
In quantity one, they are apparently about $50. So in large quantities, they probably approach $25-30 pretty quickly.
The processor is 16 bit (286), so it’s not going to boot linux or anything, but what a neat little toy for Internet-enabling a device or easily embedding intelligence into just about anything!
