Hi;

PCEngines generously supported LEAF development for the APU board with a 
reference board (incl mSATA card and WLAN NIC)! To me this is not self-
evident, the more I'd like to thank PCEngines.
But it also shows that working more than ten yrs on LEAF, and supporting the 
Soekris, Alix boards, seems to be visible and, although it has a small user 
base, and a remarkable merit.    
 
That said - yes, I've got it booting today, but it was a long journey.

Linux 3.10.33-x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 2 20:31:06 CEST 2014
LEAF Bering-uClibc 5.1-beta1 Rev 1 uClibc 0.9.33.2  firewall /dev/ttyS0
firewall login: 

# cat /proc/cpuinfo

Please note:

Make shure your APU Bios is from April 1 2014 or later!
Early adopters need to flash the bios.

Neither NIC nor WLAN is working yet.

The mSATA card seems to have issues (running out of space below 100MB, though 
it's partioned with 500MB for partition 1)

I've used pxe boot to install the files onto the mSATA card (even that with 
some  quirks).

I've installed LEAF Bering-uClibc 5.1-beta1 build from git sources.

So there is enough work ahead of us to get the PCEngines APU supported and 
every helpinghand is welcome.

I'll try to provide a new pxeboot.tgz and start documentation in our wiki   

https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/leaf/index.php?title=Bering-uClibc_5.x_-_Developer_Guide_-_Appendices_-_Hardware-Specific_Guides

tomorrow - and invite everyone to join.
