[Voyage-linux] Questions regarding Voyage & WRAP

[Punky Tse]

Mitch,

WRAP hosts SC1100 processor, which is more powerful than 4511 provided.  
Moreover, the price-performance ratio is better than 4511.   But you 
have to pay attention to WRAP board hanging in reboot.  To solve the 
problem, there are two ways; one is the use the wd1100 driver, the other 
is to have your kernel patched with my reboot fix.  If you want to stay 
on pebble, then 4511 will get rid most of the problems.  If you want to 
use WRAP, then your only choice is voyage. 

I am also planning to backport my kernel fix to 2.4.26 kernel for 
pebble-voyage.  So you will be able run pebble with voyage kernel 
package add-ons in the WRAP boards.

My current perference is WRAP just because of price and performance, the 
rest of the problems from WRAP can be solved by software.
