Shawn, the board does not have enough flash to host its own development system. The debian filesystem that Technologic systesm has for download contains the complete development system as well as a complete debian system so that you can "apt-get" all the utilities that you want. The debian system is about 256Mb which means that you have to either use the crosscompiler tools on a PC under Linux, the cygwin crosscompiler under windoze, use the optional SD card for the root filesystem or NFS mount root on a PC to do development work.
I based my decision to buy the board with the SD card option based on that I know that I may not always have a laptop to have for an NFS root filesytsem. I chose to sacrifice the XDIO functionality and get the SD card option for the ability to use the board itself as a development environment. I hope that helps to make the choice clear for you. If you have any further questions I will be keeping an eye on the list. On 9/24/07, sgrover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I was looking at the 7260 with the SD options.
