RE: [jornada] pm with jornada720 flashrom

Hi,
some updates:
1. we are in the final stage (ie legal approval) to publish
   the Flash ROM specs. The paper work should get submitted
   early next week.
2. we have enough connectors to make 300 more cards. The new
   cards will have 64MB DRAM, and possibly larger Flash memory
   too. It's not been decided on how many cards to make though.

We still need to work on some way to do the first bootloader
installation in a scalable manner ...

Cheers

Sumit
