I fully support any development for such devices and their integration 
into Angstrom. I also support talking about the hardware kernel and 
other things.

In my opinion talking about kernel development for such devices is very 
welcome. It helps in supporting more devices.

I was trying to say please use your own threads it is not polite to use 
threads of other people which want to get help and mix up things.

If no one else want one I would like to borrow one. I cannot promise to 
find a lot of time for it but I will give it a try.

In my opinion the reason why Angstrom is still alive is because it is 
general and supports many devices.
