I have my eyes set on the Gateworks Avila GW2348-4 but before ordering one there are a few things, I'd like to know. Hopefully, someone on this list can answer my questions. I have only found one European reseller of the GW2348-4, DD-WRT SHOP [1], and according to their website the GW2348-4 is currently out of stock. Anybody know of any other European resellers? Gateworks lists an optional type A USB host interface for the GW2348-4, but I have been unable to find any reseller that holds this version of the board. Anybody here have one? Know where/if I can get one? USB isn't crucial as I will mostly be using the board to get aquinted with the ARM architecture (and, I hope, do some FreeBSD development), but it's a nice to have feature. Anybody know if all Avila boards are sold with the Redboot bootstrap bootloader - or is that only included in the Development Kit? Is this a vanilla version of Redboot, or does it require custom patches to work with the Avila boards? Anything else I ought to be aware of before placing an order?
