Typical friscale crap. The BSP is way too expensive. Which
century were they born in? You can buy 4 sheeva plugs with ARM running
at 1.2GHz for that price of $400. They too are development systems
with Linux tool chain made by developers for developers.
And for $200, you can buy a real 19" monitor instead of the crap
postage stamp size screen.
They are no more interested in getting Linux customers than
they are serious about attracting Linux developers to their platform.
