Getting to know Hawkboard

I found out about the Hawkboard through the beagle community and for me it was a dream come true. I had been looking for a good DSP platform that was affordable and at least semi-open. Hawkboard looked better than anything I had been hoping for. The Hawkboard is produced by InnovateSolutions.

I started following a lot of different channels to learn what was working and what was not.
These are the Google groups I follow:

And these channels are available on the FreeNode IRC network:
