I also have 2 SBCs that have been waiting for time and motivation to explore. These 2 are of the same model, and similar to one I know John has. I'd be very interested in seeing how to get started working with these - even if only to the point where a base OS can be installed and accessed. But this is probably better as a workshop type of event.
For a general meeting type presentation, perhaps an overview of just what embedded Linux is, what we need and how to get started with it... My thoughts.
