Don't hold your breath on the cross-compilation support. Looking at the timestamps on the tarball, the files haven't been touched in 2+ years.
I looked at the way that the environment is built, and it struck me as a bit unwieldy. You can't easily make things in small stages, tweaking as you go, and you can't easily separate out all the drivers and subsystems you don't need, either. It's all rigged to be "monolithic". (I have foggy memories of being told "modular is good" in S/W engineering classes in school... but that was a long time ago... perhaps KISS has fallen out of favor.) As for a USB device... it would probably speak IP-over-USB, which would mean that you then wouldn't be able to (a) have a single box solution, obviously, (b) use it with Soekris boards (which have a single USB port, and it's for the USB key disk holding the configuration), and (c) couldn't access statistics on the performance of the line easily... such as the noise margins, bits per bin, constellation info, receive and transmit SNR's, etc. which make it a lot simpler to troubleshoot a line. -Philip Lachlan Dunlop wrote: > Phillip, > > We have a setup like you describe that we deploy today....
