$68.75 USD apparently

That’s a bit pricey, no?
Yeah it’s pricey. That MIMO Wi-Fi chip can be fun to play around with for an access point!
For $68 they could have at least put in 1GB ram within that SOC. That extra buffer would help a lot sometimes.
At the moment there are difficulties getting kamikaze to run on it. I know of at least one person who has one and ran into issues with the Linux kernel and overlay not working with the wifi as expected
am I the only one who got it fully working so far? 
I spammed the heck out of^W^W^W^W^W reported progress on
https://github.com/goeland86/Kamikaze2/issues/20; I guess it will warrant a device-specific image eventually: won’t boot with 4.1 and the proper dtb (needs 4.4 kernel), SPI2 is called SPI1 (needs systemd and udev changes), some boards - like mine, which arrived 2 days ago - are missing the board revision from the EEPROM so they don’t get autodetected as BBBW, etc.

As far as I know you are, @Sabin_Iacob . But thanks to your testing we’ll hopefully have BBBW supported soon. I’d argue that the fix for SPI devices should make it into the main redeem code - it doesn’t break anything and avoids having to mess with the linux image too much. @Elias_Bakken thoughts on that?
