I'm looking for something: a) I can purchase locally (Australia) b) Is reasonably priced c) Has a mainline port of U-Boot already d) Is 'useful' (media player, NAS, firewall, machine that goes 'ping') e) Has lots of 'things' to play with (network, USB, video, SD/MMC, SATA, LEDs, GPIO, Alphanumeric LCD) - Not all have to be currently supported (actually, it would be great if some aren't so I can work on adding them)
Dreamplug [1], or the D2plug [2], or the CuBox [3]. The last two have video and mainline support is a wip (Linux). The first is already supported in both and has a few more things which need converted to devicetree.
[1] and [2] have a jtag adapter on the side, and the adpater can be bought with the device [4]. [3] just needs a micro-usb cable and is "unbrickable" even when replacing u-boot. I have yet to test this. ;-)
[2] and [3] are Marvell's new line of SoCs, so armv7. [1] is kirkwood, and armv5te.
