Note that I have not tested in ARM mode nor on older archs. But I don't
think it should change anything from what I've seen in the diffs.

Just get a Beaglebone Black, it's $45 and Cortex A8 (armv7). Well buy

If you want to do cool stuff, the AX3 is by far the best thing I've seen
to date, really, but it's too expensive for a non-profit developer in my
