Its lack of a wireless interface and its 2GB as well as its high performance CPU makes it suitable for some security-relevant applications, were WiFi is strictly prohibited (we have such). Its eMMC interface is also pretty nice. > > > Op wo 26 apr. 2017 om 12:12 schreef Mark Millard <markmi@dsl-only.net>: > > > On 2016-Oct-2, at 7:17 AM, Tom Vijlbrief <tvijlbrief at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > No change (at least in my tree) since my last report on this list > > somewhere in May or June. > > > > > > The kernel boots with 4 cpus and working usb.
