Hi, just look into the price of these boards, its development kits are 
so expensive. Do I need to purchase the development as well? or just 
purcahse the board? Besides, it seems that I have to purchase 5 boards 
in one order, that is too much money for me..

Is there any alternative and compatible with RTEMS but cheaper than 
XScale? I sitll not quite sure huge benefit that XScale brings in, any 
relevant information is welcome.

Thanks
Sam
