ah right, we need to change that on the website since Familiar seems not to be
updated any more.

For the h2200 I would recommend to use Angstrom. The images should be quite good
by now.

Unluckily not: You need to flash an Angstrom image since Familiar
and Angstrom are not binary compatible. Familiar is still using old
OABI/hardfloat binaries.
