    There are even more AppNotes and other documents on the Freescale website still mentioning MorphOS:

    Yes, I think it was mainly the severe RAM constraint that made the Efika 5200B a bummer for many MorphOS users.

    You mean QorIQ hardware from Genesi might happen in case you'll be successful with your current and future i.MX hardware? I remember that Neko said Genesi once evaluated solutions based on QorIQ but decided against it, but that was quite a while ago. So are you maybe inclined to re-evaluate QorIQ, especially with having the upcoming QorIQ AMP series in mind?
