Re: Embedded Noob question: Netburner MOD5213/MOD5270 dev kits?

Any thoughts on the Netburner line? Is there good GNU/gcc support (I'm a
'BSD user/dev from many years back)? Are there more suitable dev kits
similarly priced which offer similar bang for the buck??

I used the MOD5282 in a fast-track project at a previous employer a
couple years back. Overall, it went pretty smoothly. I found a few
bugs in the Netburner code (The MOD5282 was pretty new at the time,
the 5270 should be well wrung-out by now)), and a bug in the boot
monitor trashed a couple modules during development, but Netburner was
fairly prompt at fixing any problems, and repaired the scrambled
modules under warrantee.

I'd certainly use them again, especially if an ethernet interface is
required (it wasn't for my project, but it was useful for code updates
and a telnet interface).
