cpu reclocking to 500Mhz, overclocking to 533Mhz, performance tests and bootloader images

Hi, Thanks for your research into reclocking. I've tried the 533-CLK2 version on one of my freerunners and it seems to work well. I am trying to put your changes into my qi build. You have one patch posted for the 500-83 uboot which wasn't too difficult to adapt to qi. Do you have the PLL

Re: When is the next and more powerful openmoko releasing
