Lyrtech Small Form Factor Board

I have had a Lyrtech Small Form Factor SDR (SFFSDR) board since May 9. I had about 8 weeks to get Linux running on it for the SDR Forum Radio Challenge contest. Sadly I could not make it run Linux in that time frame, so we switched to plan B for the contest. Since my thesis writing is nearly done, I have some time to see how good the davinci support committed to u-boot a couple of months ago is, I took another stab at getting Linux on the board

The davinci support in u-boot is good, I had the board working in a day. Some minor kernel config changes have the kernel booting, and this morning I set up root over NFS and got minimal-image running. It was great seeing the Angstrom ASCII logo scroll onto the screen.

Now to get an OSSIE image built .... And get the NAND flash working with the kernel so I can create a self contained system.
