I had been talking to Punky about An arm port, at the time he didnt have
a board to test it on, but I built up some images, and Have, i guess
what you can callan
Unofficial Port of Voyage to The Gateworks boards, with the cf slots..
Thanks

I have an associate locally who is manufacturing a custom XScale

folks are looking for depending on memory requirements but wants to
know what developer interest there is in porting Voyage to this
platform. He could provide some boards in a fairly short time for
testing/development if the interest is there with an initial
production run as early as sometime this summer.
Going back to the earlier discussion on this list, there probably
should be a low-end board, ~$50-$70, for client use but a more
expensive one, say $100-$130 range, could easily be justified if
that's what it takes to get the additional functionality an
AP/router/DNS/DHCP server requires. After all, an AP with even 20
clients is going to pay for the additional one-time cost in a few days
operation.
My personal choice is a single mini-PCI slot client and a three slot
AP, two for 5.8GHz backhaul in and out and one with a 2.4GHz AP.
Does anyone know what processor PC Engines is going to use in their
upcoming ARM9 product? What success have any list members had in
running on XScale?
Does anyone have a wish list of what features are needed in a low cost
CPE?
I'm not expert at board manufacture but am intrigued by the possibly
*very* low power consumption implied here for possible solar or
wind-generated power source installations. Being divorced from
reliance on the local power company would be a great advantage for
site selection.
