We have a little bit hacky barebox port for the CUPID (to be shown at the electronica in Munich, starting tomorrow), and we would surely be interested in some sponsoring to get the port mainlined. Please contact sales@pengutronix.de if you are interested. Btw, the MX35 is really, really fast. It boots into Linux in less than a second, so that we currently are able to show a splash screen directly from Linux userland. rsc -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
