Good to see activity on this project. I am currently investigating with a friend what platform to use for embedded systems - we saw the standard x86 clones but it would be more fun to use an "exotic" architecture and we were impressed by the Efika (2W for a 400MHz processor is a real achievement). Our dream is to go to a local FreeBSD conference (we are based in Chile) and run the presentation on this board - surely a long way to go... I just joined the freebsd-ppc list to learn more about this platform - I saw some posts in the Jan. 2007 archive, what motivated me to join. We would be interested in getting some hardware to help the project. How can we get 1 or 2 boards? I will be in France for a few weeks in February if it helps.
