I noted one thing on the frexian pages, the prices for funding are in euro's. And since I run on dollars, would need an exchange rate. Those prices would appear to be aimed at a corporate setting, as opposed to something that a retiree on SS might be able to afford, nor is the plea taken as being aimed at me. IMO this is a mistake. I am well aware of the TANSTAAFL principle, and if the paperwork didn't drown them, would be able to make an annual donation of perhaps $100 toward the expenses of the LTS. Tain't much, but how many other old farts like me would be willing to do likewise? On a secondary note, I see armel and armhf? listed there, but what about arm64 since there are now, shipping versions of arm64 out in the wild for at least a year. I have 2 of the rock64's myself. Runs at about 3/4 the speed of this machine, which is a quad core phenom about 10 years old, and once the drivers (dual mali gfx engines, high speed spi) have been written, will easily take over from thousands of power slurping wintel boxes controlling industrial machines. Thats a $44 card, with 4GiB of installed dram. You are going to get more and more requests as folks take note of the rock64. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
