Yeah, the device is sort of like a Beagleboard with a LCD and several more input options. However, there are several other hardware differences such as we don't use the TWL4030 chip that the beagle uses for power management, I2C, etc. > Somebody should approach these folks and do some serious 'birds of a > feather' type of sales pitch. It'd sure be very cool to get a big > university hooked on embedded Gentoo, ARM style, methinks......... I agree. However, Intel is also a major player at OSU and so they want us to stick an Atom in our next major hardware design. We'll have to see how things turn out for the next hardware rev. Also, most of the software repos for the OSWALD are available at [1] if anyone's interested and hasn't found them yet. Tim [1] https://code.oregonstate.edu/git
