I aim to build a network system like router or firewall based on customized embedded Linux. about the memory and stack, I will use embedded appliance like ARM boards or Atom not a simple Micro-controller or processor. which lang. you advice me to use C or C++? . I will use YOCTO Project to help me do that, so any advice? I built a similar network system.it was a network IDS but, it was based on xPC Target Kernel. Now, I wish to use an Embedded Linux. the system must do the basic task, so no many options. I have an experience in C and C++ but under DOS not Linux. C++ has the many options make the system design is easier but I fare the compatibility if I used it in embedded Linux. So any advice?
