Surely it adds something to the final price tag but seems the
Nitrogen6X boards can be easily upgraded to 2GB:

So maybe still an option.
You saved me some time ;)
These boards do tend to be out of stock though (we keep
underestimating demand).
I just confirmed that we're 4 weeks out for 2GB boards.
If it helps, we can provide a SABRE Lite to whomever will
work on getting a build structure together in the interim.
Oh wow, didn't notice there was an upgrade listed there!
In that case, I would vote in favour of your offer! I would expect
the Nitrogen boards to be amongst the best in mainline support as
they're around the longest.
I can only promise that we'll try. We do tend to spend most
of our time tweaking older Freescale kernels, but that's
rapidly changing.
The Freescale teams have put significant effort into
moving things forward.
So, how many boards would you be willing to offer? My original
suggestion was for 3 odroids + 1 spare in each location, so 5 total, I
didn't see any comment about that so far. I guess 3 nitrogen6x +2 spare
would also work (+RAM upgrades, which I hope you have readily
available!). I'll have to complete the wiki page with the comparison
matrix and send back to the list. Even if I personally like this option,
I'd still like for a consensus to be reached amongst the
developers/porters.
Five is no problem, and we'll try to make sure we have some
extra 2GiB boards in this next build ;)
But nevertheless thank you for the nice offer!
You're more than welcome.
We're happy for an opportunity to help in a tangible way.
Regards,
Eric
