Argh. Thanks for that - you've saved me quite a bit of cash. If only I'd read a post like that before backing the Almond and the UDOO.
A reasonable amount of my network at home is run by an aging and ailing Dreamplug - ARMv5 and remarkably sturdy. I'm still looking for a viable replacement. I was hoping to jump to a Pogoplug (same SoC, but USB3) but I (soft-)bricked it upgrading uBoot.
The now-worthless Australian dollar makes most of these things much more expensive, but it really looks like my choices are expensive industrial boards with nebulous support arrangements or giving up on ARM entirely.
Works fine, company doesn't care about FOSS, relationship with the ODM, Cortina Systems is unknown. It was running kernel 2.6 when I got rid of it last year.
