NAK from me before I see that. BTW, I understand that you are taking steps in the right direction but having worked with stmp3xxx and multiple i.MXs, I see it as a great pity that a low-end but stable and convenient platform has been effectively killed by a semiconductor giant to avoid competition with unstable and painful to work with lower end i.MXs, and is also being killed virtually -- by you guys.
