Which gumpack includes audio, USB, RS232 and storage?

The cfstix audio pack meets these requirements. Some things to consider:

- cfstix only connects to the gumstix connex platform, not the gumstix basix platform

- the gumstix connex platform does not have MMC onboard

- gumstix offers USB client only, no USB host function

- use the tweener board between the gumstix connex and audiostix to get RS232 serial.

The cfstix works well for storage requirements with several third-party compact flash storage card.

The boards would connect like this:

A-- cfstix A-- gumstix connex B B — tweener audiostix — B

A = 92-pin bus header B = 60-pin hirose connector

Yes, that's a good idea. The packs come with all the pieces that needed to get going: connex platform, expansion boards, cables and power supplies.
