see older comments96Boards.org have couple of boards on their site. Please add them
Thanks for the comparison ! I suggest to add A10-OLinuXino-LIME (and other OlinuXino boards here olimex.com/... And what about let other users modify or add when they find something new ? I was just thinking about the name of this site ;)
How about including the Acme Systems Aria G25 module? acmesystems.it/...
