| 384 | | 1. The OpenWrt BSP contain an integrated build-system. Ubuntu has step-by-step instructions on how to build an bootable system in 10 or so steps. |
| 385 | | 2. The OpenWrt BSP provides a downloadable SDK for cross-compiling applications on a development hosts. For Ubuntu native development and compilation is supported. |
| 386 | | 3. The OpenWrt BSP is designed to be a wireless router and has an integrated web-admin for configuration and control. |

| | 398 | 1. SPI does not currently support full-duplex - issue is being investigated with Cavium |
| | 399 | 2. RS485 has not yet been fully validated but uses the same shared transceiver as RS232 which has been validated. RS485 half duplex mode would require adding support for TIOCSRS485 or managing the TXEN GPIO (gpio12) from userspace. |
| | 400 | 3. Requires a board with a Mezzanine connector. |
| | 401 | 4. HW Compression offload is supported (DEV_CAVIUM_ZIP drivers/crypto/cavium/zip.c) and crypto is supported (DEV_CAVIUM_CPT drivers/crypto/cavium) although there may be additional features that could be supported with additional driver work. |
