My EFIKA arrived in Perth, Australia having come all the was from the USA in perfect condition. Nice.

Special thanks must go to both Genesi and Freescale for their sponsorship of our projects!

It's not until you have one of these babies in your hand that you truly appreciate the elegance of these small beasties. The photos somehow do not convey how small these boards actually are.

Due to my finances, Christmas and new year, things have moved a little slowly. {I have had the EFIKA since before Christmas}. That is now changing.

I have a nice little 1 Gig 2.5" hard drive that I liberated from my old laptop. This is only until I can see how much space I will need. Once I know, I will get a flash drive and adaptor as described in my previous blog.

The hard drive has been partitioned in preparation for bringing up linux.

I now have my serial cable and ATX power supply.

This weekend I hope to get my linux box connected to the EFIKA via serial cable and then bring up the base linux system.

More Soon.
Cheers.
