Gentle nudge.

I know that there is not much support for this board and its variants.
That being said, one can still buy the SOM's at Digi-Key and other
outlets. The Zoom AM3517 eXperimenter, which I have, is still a decent
platform for development. So for those who may still care, it would be
good to keep this updated.
