Just a warning, I'm not a hardware guy. Not that I wouldn't like to be, but this stuff's a bit beyond me. So bear with me:

  • You mean your test hardware will be open, or the final hardware? Or both?
  • What is the ARM9 you mentioned? That's not the OMAP3, right?
  • Your board has an ethernet port! Cool!

Like I said, not a hardware guy, but I wish I had known what you look like, I wanted to ask you some questions. I'm also disappointed that our top community kernel guys couldn't be there. We need hardware / low-level kernel guys in the community in order for the community to be healthy. Fanoush is my hero.
