Seems as if it becomes trendy to use Linux on innovative
(small) hardware.  Was this following link already posted to
this list?

They use the same microprocessor as in Itsy. But it is a
commercial product, not a research design.  They even seem
to contribute all their developments -- in spirit of Open
