Ah, this is good news, I was just looking at the A8 version. Do you have minicom working on the usb ports (using an FTDI usb-2-serial chip?). Have you cobbled together some sort of wired ethernet (usb-2-ethernet) of some type or do you just use wireless Ethernet? You gonna put a doc into the hadbook like trimslice? http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/?part=4&chap=10 I'm itching to do this, but, I wanted to wait on the A15 chip (Omap5). Alas I may jump in before that A15 is shipping.... James
