I don't have a SBC but am willing to invest in one or two (I don't always get blue smoke like John but have known to follow along with substantially different results or no results).

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. Shawn John E Jardine wrote: > Wow - we need to set a date for this because I want to make sure I'm > gonna be around! > > Awhile ago I picked up 3 SBCs from ADS.
