No hysterics GVHecke. If you are buying a product you have to read its technical specification and ask for the development plans before.
If you have bought it without reading the notes - your fault. You can not blame anyone now and force development.

If you state Linux support, just go to kernel.org an check what is available as drivers.

The Linux does not provide these drivers, the users do. The users develope them and then share. But you don't blame the Linux Company for that?

but if you have no I2C, SPi, USB support, you have no Controller at all.

If you don't have support for Firewire, for Bluetooth, W-Lan, what else? Everyone has its one understanding of a "support and necessary" drivers.

Hi Guys,

First thanks for the interest in our Linux BSP. We are sorry for all the confusion about the provided drivers. Though I'm afraid this discussion will lead nowhere.
