RE: [Balloon] Processor update to XScale

sounds good...

I called 2 distributors here in the US (and Canada) http://www.digikey.ca &
http://www.future.ca to ask them about pxa270 availability. The first only have
pxa255 and the second neither of them!

I'm very interested and ready to contribute/volunteer in the dev/test of balloon3.
Is that possible?

btw, are you planning to add integrated ethernet support to balloon3?

We have an Intel mainstone dev board for pxa270.
I have ported much of 2.6.8.1 to use it and have memory, audio and usb master
running with some pcmcia and mmc infrastructure too.

pxa270. Target launch to the massess at Xmas. Development of balloon3 has started.
