<P><FONT SIZE=2>So it's mostly for the application layer, then. I did get the sense it is enough to start doing preliminary work on - that is compiling and testing basic code.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I do expect, however that if the simulator runs the code, the hardware will (with perhaps modifications due to errata), and I'll be able to get a jump on application/tools development.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'll let you know if I have luck with it. </FONT>
