I didn't look carefully enough. All the images are with the expansion board attached.. Spec-wise and portability-wise it seems like a good option but my hardware guy keeps warning me about Freescale that they often have hardware bugs and rather than fixing the bugs they pretend they are not there.. In other words, Freescale is good for software developers because of open documentation but not so for hardware manufactures.
