It actually is, I never tried it. And all my tests on the 5.2.x were on
an ALIX system. I _believe_ the Geode SC1100, which I liked a lot on the
WRAP boards, may not be compatible. I would actually like a SC1100
compatible variant with a very small module set and specifically the
SC1100 watchdog enabled.

Good, you may be aware that I was working on some upgrade features for
the last few months. 5.2.1++ will be the starting version. We hope that
from this release the box will be able to upgrade itself without much
user intervention. If you have specific requirements, let us know (or
better do it yourself and contribute :-) )

cheers
