Anyone had any experience with the ISEE IGEPv2 board? I'm looking to
pick-up another OMAP3 board and the integrated wifi/bluetooth support
looks interesting.
I would appreciate any comments on list or private that folks may have.
Thanks.
Freeman
ISEE IGEP platform is supremely good peripherals such as WiFi and
others fit very well for various projects, I personally have a 720MHz,
the only thing that is a little complicated is the installation of all
drivers like the wifi on the Linux kernel, I think is much better than
beagleboard

It exists, it works. The guys in Spain were very helpful when I
bought mine.
Had to do some work to get board support and dss2 working in the
then-head OMAP kernel, but it wasn't hard (let me know if you want
patches - no time to clean them up for resubmission, sadly, but
I think the work's been done by others more recently anyway).
The lack of schematics was a bit of a fatal flaw for me - I
rapidly got to the point where I wanted to twiddle bits and
not knowing which GPIOs were wired to what turned out to be
a problem.
Didn't try the wifi/bluetooth support (I mainly wanted extra
RAM) so I can't comment on how that behaves. The ethernet seemed
to work, ISTR - I think I did have a few crashes with it, but
I never tracked them down (partly as a result of the schematics
issue) - probably my smsc driver was in some way knackered.
If you can cope with the lack of schematics, I see no reason
why you wouldn't use it and though IME Beagle is better
characterised and generally better supported, IGEP does have
some peripherals that Beagle lacks,
