National Semiconductor has a highly integrated family of parts
(the "Geode" product line) which is includes parts intended for
set-top boxes. The web pages on the Geode family includes
reference designs for set-top box applications. There are Geode
based SBCs available from various vendors. Where I work we're
using a geode-based board from IPC in a thin client product.
Except for a flakey VGA console mode, they seem to work well.
