Hi Scott, Thanks for clarifying. I guess I found the whole write-up at LinuxGizmos rather confusing. Part of the problem on my behalf is that I guess I've viewed Circuitco, and beagleboard.org as kind of the same entity. The other part of my confusion is that the write-up seems to be all over the place.
