For the DI-614+:

revA = samsung4510
revB = conexant arm9

For the DWL900AP+:

revA, B = samsung4510
revC = conexant arm9

I'm 95% sure that we can put linux also on the conexant arm9 machines
because:

o there's a jtag
o there's already a running uclinux distrib for this
o linux is already running on the same kind of hardware (see hactiontec)

For the arm9, I don't know, but I think Peter knows more about...

The 604 is not the same CPU as the conexant arm9

I've updated the seattlewireless page with:

It's not so complicated to do, but I've missed my first attempt to do it
because I'm not good in soldering...
