Hi Adam,

Good to hear from you. Have you got an E3?

I have got a (slightly broken) shell and working USB so you can work on a driver, put it onto the
USB stick, mount the USB stick, and insmod it (thus saving you the 3 1/2 minute wait when uplading
the kernel + u-boot + rootfs). You should also be able to compile simple programs for the E3 and
run them, but with any sound or display your a bit limited, but I'm working on that ;-).
