Hi Mike,

First of all, I don't have your experience & skill, but there is something
I don't understand.
If you previsouly used Axx Allwinner platforms in the past for making your
packages I presume you're mainly using this platform as "production"
platform.
So if you are turning now to a Wandboard that has a FreeScale processor how
will you manage? Are you going to use cross-compiling technic?

If so, how/what do you think of the Radxa mini board on thes matters?
What is your opinion?
It looks cheaper than the Wandboard?

Sorry in advance if I'm "out of subject".
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Regards
Erix
