Cute device.  It might be straightforward to get CUWiN to run on it,
although the device drivers would take a while.  I wonder what bootloader
is on it?

The evaluation kit costs $1900. :-( The EVK comes with technical support,
though.  Maybe we can cheaply get a board w/o support.

I didn't see any programmers' docs for the Philips WLAN on the web,
when I looked.
