If you have been talking with Broadcom they can probably provide references for you. I believe a large proportion of their designs are Linux based now. > If yes, I would like to know their experience in terms > of stability and performance. It's stability is fine with SMP. You application code will (should?) crash much more than the kernel will :-) Performance is relative to a lot of factors (board space/power/thermal budget available). It's hard to beat the size/performance offered by the 1250. Daniel
