Is this a PCMCIA card? That sounds like an interesting form factor, but in that case how does the serial console work? Assuming it's a development board, not a PCMCIA card: - Why not give it more RAM? The A20 can address up to 2GB which I consider to be an absolute minimum for serious work. - Why not include a CP2102-type UART-USB chip so you can just plug it directly into USB to get a serial console. IMHO serial ports are requirements for development boards, not something that everyone should be forced to buy separately. - Precisely what patches are required to get the upstream kernel to work?
