 awesome!!  how expensive is it to build in the end?  Will we build some
 for LAVA folks to play with?

It sounds very nice and useful - but what is it and why is this so
exciting :) ?


I gave a bit background as a comment to my post:

Thanks for the explanation -  it would be nice if such a comment were
in the original post on linaro-dev rather than a one line comment with
no explanation anywhere for mere mortals :)

Basically a gadget that allows you to use one sd card shared by two computers.

Power off computer A and computer B will see the sdcard. Power on
computer A and sd card will get unplugged from computer B; computer A
can use it exclusively until it gets powered off again.

(Assuming that computer B is powered off at the same time that
Computer A comes on) Interesting though I'm not sure where I'd use it
and how it would work if I had a running computer B and it was using
that device :

It's essentially being developed for LAVA so that we can test a complete image, including u-boot (or uefi or whatever) as well as the boot and rootfs alone.

Thanks
