Hello! Remember group this is the development kit. This means that Marvell is quite sure of its device from its own point of view. But they are soliciting opinions from every single developer out there.
Ideally it can become a replacement device for the PC left on in the house to work as a file server. Or even as a replacement for the NSLU2 from LinkSys...... -- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "The Force will be with you always."

Does anyone know? It feels a bit limited to only have 1USB port and 1 network interface on the device, but sure It wouldnt be any problem to use it for owfs and an USB-adapter, drawing some graphs with temploggerd or something similar. /Christian From: Paul Alfille [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 10:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Owfs-developers] Interesting Device I don't know of any ports, yet, but it looks very enticing. There is a writeup on Linux Devices as well.: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9634061300.html Sounds like the processor is ARM-based (88F6281) which OWFS has been ported to in the past. The RAM (512M) is more than enough. It looks like there is both USB and (with some fiddling) serial ports, as well as some GPIO pins and a spare serial line for the hardware inclined. If there is interest, we could access the GPIO pins with w1 or write support directly. Most impressively, there is complete documentation freely available, as well as instructions for linux installation and cross compiling. Paul Alfille On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 3:12 PM, Donald J.
