    Now if I remember correctly the EFIKA is a Freescale board. Wouldn't these Toradex boards at least be academically capable of booting MorphOS? Obviously the MorpHOS Team would have to change the Kernel to get this to boot. Video support may not be all that great either. But it would be new hardware for MorphOS.

    You think of the Efika MX but not the Efika (PPC): http://genesi.company/products/efika vs. http://genesi.company/products/efika/5200b. MOS only runs on PPC, not on ARM.

    I meant the Freescale (PPC) EFIKA machine.

    There are some Freescale PPC boards, but what you pointed to is ARM based.

    The Efika5200B is supported already and runs MorphOS since ages. But the Efika5200B is EOL and has too little RAM (and other shortcomings) to be particularly interesting now that the Apple machines got support. I like my Efika nevertheless., though.

    What I originally tried to point to was the Freescale chart showing 1ghz Freescale with 512RAM with the built in Video capabilities. They do 1-4 cores but with MorphOS obviously only 1 is usable. No idea how I got the ARM Link.

    Here's another link but of slower interchangeable socket boards.

    ARM Cortex-A9 is ARM, obviously.

    ARM Cortex-A5 is ARM, obviously.
