<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 and the BeagleBone.
