Wandboard is a baseboard by wandboard.org and an embedded EDM module plugged into it.  The reports above cover the dual option.  For some reason they don't support (or didn't in October 2012 when the blog entry was written) the SATA connection on the baseboard.

I have the quad, and am running ubuntu 12.04.  Main problem is that the kernel is a bit laggard, @ 3.05, and there is a power code bug causing a complaint when going into idle.  I have a workaround to keep the board up all the time, which of course isn't optimal.

Typical crap, at the last job I used Freescale, the kernel blobs were buggy and had this sort of crap.  at least I have the source, and will be able to spin my own kernel.

Here is an entry from the guy about EDM modules
