So like the iMX53 but with a slightly faster processor and no analogue video. > with the exception of Our Phil (Mr Endecott) It's Dr. Endecott to you! > , who has confessed he is > a bit odd and wants something with all the bells and whistles > including PCI-e as well as Gigabit Ethernet _and_ armv7 (Cortex A9) > _and_ a cake with sparkly candles that relight when you blow them out, To be clear, I would like Bells OR whistles OR candles, not necessarily all on the same board. (But in general, a board with one more feature than required is a lot more useful than a board with one fewer.) > other interfaces including some GPIO pins That is actually something that is annoyingly missing from the iMX53 board - a handful of signals on a sane connector that could be connected to switches and LEDs. In the past, I have resorted to using modem control signals for this sort of thing. > demonstrable need for such I would be interested to know where boards like the Beagle/Panda/etc. actually end up. I would guess that a few batches of 30 to a training provider or a build farm or for use in a small-volume product would quickly outweigh individual sales to people like us. Is it those sales that determine viability? Cheers, Phil. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
