Since it is <http://www.arm.com/> which make the  specification,  it  is
generaly up to them, to make it work.

I do not think (but would be a cool idea), we can buy  some  specs  like
A8, A9 or A15 and design and manufacturer our own ARM µC  which  use  an
unified  ARM-BIOS including something like the crashfree EZ-BIOS from
Asus, Booting from CD-Rom over SATA or USB...

Note:   I have already calculated the price only  for  the  specs  (A15,
        SATA3, USB 3.0) and we would need to build minimum 1mio units to
        get our money back...

        It is nearly impossibel to start a new Enterprise from  scratch,
        except somone is willing to spend around 20-25mio Euro  for  the
        project.  It requires a bunch of Full-Time Employees  and  Super
        Geeks which do not expect a sallery (brut) of >4000 Euro/Month.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
