Not really, I just saw a few people on the list asking about booting i.MX6 boards. So I was wondering whether you guys support those already. The wandboard [1] or the CuBox [2] seem to be quite interesting, lots of horse power and reasonably priced. I thought about porting some wireless communication protocols to an L4 based platform. Both seem to be an interesting piece of hardware that have enough power for SDRs. Cheers Andre [1] http://wandboard.org/ [2] http://www.solid-run.com/
