Hello,

I'm new to linaro. so this posting is also to ensure my listserv access is allowing me to post.

What I was expecting is a matrix to allow new devs to quickly glean features and decide which boards to purchase or recommend to clients to purchase, for rapid prototyping.

Since Linaro is flapping loudly about Grub2, I should think that support for the modern file systems on the 64 Bit arm offerings would abound, such as ZFS, CEPH, GlusterFS, etc etc. Anyone clustering arm dev boards into something big? Sharing knowledge?

I've been reading, but I have not found many different boards that are supported. OK. Maybe folks are working on boards from TI, Freescale and the other big vendors, but do not list the boards on Linaro? If so, where would these repositories be located. For example here are a few boards, built/offered by members of the Linaro alliance, yet I find no embedded linux repositories for 64 bit systems and modern file systems, clustering nor distributed applications ?

I did find Arndale 5250 support and a bunch of lesser processors and NO SATA3 support:

You guys are kidding right? Or are the big vendors just here for promotional (fluff) reasons?

curiously perplexed, James
