<h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status</strong></font></h3>

<p>
The current target boards are the original BeagleBoard and newer xM models,
as well as Pandaboard, Pandaboard ES, Beaglebone, and Beaglebone Black. There
are still a fair number of things to do on each of these boards. The platform is now 
self hosting, however there is no smp support. Networking is working on the Pandaboard's 
and the Beaglebone's. Listed below are several items that 
are still open. 

<ul>
  <li>Add support for the battery-backed RTC.
  <li>Add proper boot support.
  <li>Add SMP for Pandaboard, and Pandaboard ES.
  <li>Add support for the SD/MMC controller.
  <li>Add support for beaglebone black local storage.
  <li>EABI.
</ul>
