Hi Jim, Hi list,

Unless that investment can be done in parallel, this change translates
into delay and cost. Right now, there are only one set of people
familiar with the mesh code, working under a tight deadline. We're not
about to tell them to delay the overall project by switching horses in
midstream.
So to break the conundrum there also have to be people willing to
actually do the work, as the primary firmware team is working on getting
us code we can use and deploy.

As in the base system BIOS/firmware situation, the right way to look at
this is we know the desired/needed end-state, and to take steps toward
that state as time and resources permit.
That's good news.
Basically you say that you will *support* a parallel development, if there
are people willing to do a parallel development.
OK.
What's needed to start:
- a cheap and easy to get development environment:
Since a BTest-1 Systems is still a hard to get thing...
In what cheap device, *sold* *worldwide*, is the Marvell Libertas
88W8388 chip in a to the Gen1-System compatible manner build in ?
Candidates:
- Xbox 360 WifiAdapter http://wiki.free60.org/WifiAdapter
Start at 65 EUR
Could someone ask Marvell kindly about that please ?
If we have OLPC Gen1-System compatible development hardware we could
evaluate the Marvell RTOS alternatives http://ecos.sourceware.org/ and
http://www.tinyos.net/
