When last I tried to get them 5 years ago they were hard to come by and generally came with no more than 32M or 64M of memory. mips/rt305x has been subsumed by mips/mediatek, so will be deleted w/o loss of functionality. I'm curious what benefit sibyte has apart from broadcom? It seems to support a super old broadcom chip that's way obsolete that has a bunch of errata that need workarounds that aren't present in newer chips. What am I missing?
