Ah, at the bottom of http://pandaboard.org/ it says "TI is a sponsor of the PandaBoard project," so another demo board to show off a CPU. > [At Canonical] we default to PandaBoards as a way to have access to > cheap Cortex-9 hardware. As I mentioned, Canonical considers ARM a > full citizen for the platform…so we need hardware to poke at :) I wondered if that was the case. (Though given the things you talked about working on at Canonical, I figured ARM development would be happening in other, distant departments.) That looks like a relatively high-end ARM board. If you want to do your users a favor, have your developers live with the pain of using something more average, so they'll be motivated to keep the code speedy. :-) -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
