From my experience this is correct. They do have a TS-Linux version, but there is a huge number of
packages in Debian which people need, and I don't see that kind of package support for TS-Linux.
Python and related packages such as python-serial, ctypes, numerics etc are needed for my project.
I'm honestly starting to regret my decision on purchasing this board.

I would donate to that as well - if they also made a commitment to make it available to other TS-7260
users.

I guess I'm either going to bite the bullet and do this work myself, and then release it as open source
for everyone to use or try another board. Problem is I have limited free time, and the time I do have I
want to spend actually delivering my autonomous solar powered boat. I really just wanted to buy
something ready to go with debian preinstalled and configured to work.

Grrr.
