The (F)ADS8xx is (in)famous. Maybe it was sponsered by the
unemployment office to keep all these programmers busy, hunting for
software problems for weeks and weeks and weeks (util they realized
they had hardware problems).
You don't have to use this board.
There are alternative solutions. Just divide the price for another
board (stable hardware with full Linux support) by your hourly rate
and you probably already now wasted money on the FADS...
