Greetings:

I am working on an embedded linux ARM9E based project and i'm looking for a good eval board to get my feet wet... any suggestions?

My primary concerns are (in order of importance):

1) MMU/cache/SDRAM support/stability (most important)
2) availability (preferably US mfg'r)
3) linux/u-boot stability
4) cost
5) performance (least important)

PS:
Hi Wolfgang! Moving to another project name will not get rid of me so easily, muahahaha ;)

The only ARM9TDMI systems directly supported by U-Boot are SMDK2400 / SMDK2410 (Samsung Developmnt kits using s3c2400 / s3c2410 processors) and TRAB (a proprietary board pretty similar to the SMDK2400 as far as U-Boot is concerned).

We have the SMDK2400 and TRAB in our compile farm.
