If you plan to make anything buildable by "mere mortals" you probably want to look at something that is entirely a geek toy and lower speed. One guy on the linux-arm list has successfully built an ARM based homebrew machine. Embedded ARM means you can be using 33MHz or slower parts, almost no glue logic and most I/O devices on chip - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/faq.html | ||||||||||||
