Chris, Specifically on the Congatec, we've just gotten acceptable drivers from the IO chipset vendor. We have a few steps to complete but expect an update to the IVI release for Congatec in the next 10 days that will fill out most of the BSP package. Unfortunately the MOST, onboard Ethernet controller and advanced 3d compositing graphics drivers are still being worked on, but we expect to have releasable versions in the next month or two. We target updates for the Congatec board every 6 weeks. And the IVI team is growing.

Seriously, is this just a nice way for Intel to make it all "go away"? (i.e. some cost accountant suddenly realized that Intel is NOT principally a software company?) Since Intel has washed their hands of it, what would be the incentive for anyone else (read: 'Linux Foundation") to implement Intel's IVI initiative? I really wasn't looking to broaden the port to an ARM CPU (there are already plenty of options for that CPU), but in any event, it would have been nice to actually get a stable Atom Moblin v2 release and it would have REALLY been nice to get ANY release of the Congatec IVI BSP to work with Moblin, before it was "kicked to the curb". Rusty your on the steering committee, can you tell us what the new timeline is (especially in regard to IVI)? Any what, if any, future involvement will the Intel development team (do they still have jobs?) have with Moblin and IVI? Because right now I am feeling that I made a big mistake pursuing an Intel Atom based IVI system (i.e. "Congatec"), since it now appears that Moblin and IVI are "dead projects", can you tell me why I shouldn't feel that way, and continue to hold out hope for an Intel based IVI system?
