ah. question. did you use a board with the internal crystal on the SoC, or did you do (or use) a design with an external one?
if "external" then that would be Bad... and i would want to know, for the DX2 and DX3, that they'd fixed that.
I don't know about the details, we used this one: http://www.ssv-comm.de/en/products/esom2586.php
However, it was not nearly in the performance and feature class of even any of the industrial ARM cpus, and that was several years ago.
ok. right. this is the one that's in the nortec (something like that) gecko edubook. i also have a sample of a 9in laptop with it in (the one using the same casework as the GPL-violating CT-PC89e that kicked off this whole project). it runs ubuntu - i don't like ubuntu so i don't know and don't care which version - but it's fully-functional and actually really good. i ran videos through a 25-to-12fps ffmpeg reducer that also dropped them down to 640x320 and they play perfectly well... in the middle of the screen :)
