Two boards: skypilot-custom (handles the mesh antenna array);
it's not my area of expertise but it looked as if the antenna array was a poor design. we could ask some local ham radio antenna geeks for a second opinion but that may be reason enough to put the PPC board to some other use.
Also, at the present time, I have no JTAG software for talking to the PPC board. Each of the boards has a single mini-PCI slot and a serial console.
JTAG can be used for serial connections, too. Do either of them respond to TFTP during their boot phase or even have boot loaders that enable the network interface prior to loading a kernel? And can you interrupt the boot loader from the serial console?
I've been meaning to start a wiki page.
I can help out there, too, by taking photos & writing up the details we've discovered so far. I did find that post, by the way. it was in a thread about the ALIX.
