If you can run Linux on the board you should be able to compile ROS from source on the board or cross-compile to that target.

Hi, I'm using also a pc/104 (advantech PCM-3362) with ROS indigo with no problem.
- make sure to choose a PC/104 with ix86 CPU architecture in order to be able to install ubuntu and ROS with no source code compilation.
The only thing that i came across was, when i try to run rviz it notify me that doesnt support hardware openGL so i switched to software with just a simple command. This has to do with the embedded graphics but you can choose a PC/104 with hardware openGL. For me doesnt really matters because the PC is on a autonomous robot.

ROS runs well on ubuntu linux; so you really want to find an SBC that can run ubuntu. If you want to use the newest ROS (Indigo) then you need an SBC that can run Ubuntu 14.04
