I’m on a trip to Germany and I’m currently in Munich. I’ve been taking public transportation, mainly buses. Each bus has a screen that displays upcoming stops and other information. This morning, my bus’ screen was broken! It was in a boot loop and was just the bios trying to start over and over. Here’s a video:

Can anyone identify what this device is? I'm stumped.

 

it's time

I'll be pretty impressed if anyone could recognize this.

Yeah it looks like a single board computer from seco (seco M570-something) with a VIA Eden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_Eden) ESP 6000, 8000, or 4000 CPU running at 600, 800, or 400MHz respectively and that has a PC/104-Plus connector (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC/104#PC/104-Plus).
