+ The board had basic functionality.
+ But full functionality was not available until NuttX-7.4.
+ In NuttX-7.4 support was added for the L2 cache, many security features, XDMAC, HSMCI and Ethernet integrated with XDMAC, the LCDC, TWI, SSC, and most of the existing SAMA5 drivers.
+ Timers were added to support <i>Tickless</i> operation.
+ The TM7000 LCDC with the maXTouch multi-touch controller are also fully support in a special NxWM configuration for that larger display.
+ Support for a graphics media player is included (although there were issues with the WM8904 audio CODEC on my board).
+ An SRAM bootloader was also included.
