Well, I have the Arndale, and it boots with these instructions: https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/Arndale/Setup/EnterpriseUbuntuServer I can boot a selfconfigured vanilla kernel, but it seems usbsupport is not yet in 3.8-rc7. The kernel from the above instructions works just fine. > I'm considering it as a potential buildd but i'm not yet happy > enough with the state of the project to actually make a purchase. > > Right now i'd suggest the odriod U2 as the least bad build box > option if you want to go the native route.

The Odriod U2 and X2 seem nice little machines too, thanks for metioning them. Sander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
