If you like videos, there's another one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1IM9Vd2_2s
Replicant and SHR running on GTA04. Thanks to recent work on the kernel and Device Tree migration, in future I should be able to take the SD card out of that GTA04, move to Neo900 and just boot it
Notice how smoothly Replicant works on this 800 MHz CPU (that's older version, newer ones have 1 GHz, just like Neo900 will have) without any 3D acceleration! So all you can see on this video is completely FLOSS.

Hopefully I'll soon be able to record similar video, but with Fremantle instead of Replicant/SHR. That would be a great milestone for "NeoFremantle" project

Ya considering the neo900 board is a squashed in-to-fit variant of the gta04..this demo shows that whatever the gtao4 can do...pretty much the same is gonna be for neo900..THAT is the point!..woohoo! 
I can't wait to piss around with it!
mean Tecknohakr soundtrack btw

Will the Neo900 support JTAG or a serial console over USB?

What I'd like to know is if I will be able to connect a USB-to-RS232 null modem cable to the mircoUSB port and hook up a physical terminal such as a VT100 (in reality I'll probably just hook it up to my PC and connect to it with cu or minicom). This would obviously be more convenient than building a cable to hook up to the pad connectors under the battery.
I'd also like to be able to do the reverse and use cu or minicom on the N900 to connect to the serial console of a server.

Of course, this is a quite new idea and circuitry needs to be reviewed.
