I took another look at the Raspberry for possible use
as an EFI processor.

It is getting a lot of press in the magazines
and it is a very powerful computer indeed.
Almost as powerful as a desktop computer. Lots of I/O
but unfortunately not of the right kind.

Noessential Ato D and PWM support.

The BASIC like Pythonlanguage is also limited compared
to the BASIC's. Worse it is a slow interpreter rather
than a fast compiler. Here is a list of the limited
key words. Compare this with the list of Mikro ARM BASIC
key words.

No in-line assembly language support either.

Not useful for EFI yet.
