During a discussion this very day (12.31.2005 on Usenet's comp.arch.fpga, comp.os.linux.embedded, and then private e-mail) about running embedded Linux on Xilinx V2Pro platform FPGAs and the ongoing abiguity of some folks referring to the FPGA's hard core PowerPC 405 running Linux while others are referring to a V2Pro instantiation of a MicroBlaze soft processor core running ucLinux, one fellow said:

"There are certainly varying levels of expertise of folks working with these platforms. Keeps things interesting though."

I took a moment to reflect. I realized that I should be more patient and more respectful of those who are as earnest and eager to continue their learning/education process as I am. I continue to learn, but just because I have experience in one area, I should be more patient with those seeking knowledge in that same area.

For the diversity of experience, thanks to 8052.com that "keeps things interesting". Cheers to Craig and Steve for hosting and moderating a forum that caters to the MCU that will not die (not that that's a bad thing).
