It can't be the bare minimum as they've already said the minimum is an ARM9 and that Qualcomm is an ARM11. Plus, why port to a new platform when there are plenty of development kits for ARM9 (and event ARM11 these days) which support Linux out of the box. They could have used a Gumstix. They didn't, they ported Linux to a completely new family of SoC - no simple task. Just ask the OpenMoko Kernel developers! :-) _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
