    Okay. Maybe the question shouldn't be "how" but rather "why"? ;-)
    Non-jokingly: The MPC512x is a very low-cost chip so I think whether to offer evaluation or development boards or systems based on this chip either for much or for little money is just a policy decision of the manufacturing company. THTF/LimePC obviously want to go for the cheap route and so they just do it. No magic involved. STx however seem to pursue quite another policy with their MPC512x based evaluation and reference boards and systems.

    Yes, definitely:
