It might be the fastest route for the first versions as a "simple" VJ box (one 
that's usable by everybody, fast, and stable). I am utterly sick of 
GNU/GCC/Binutils/Linux problems and have lost all trust in the quality of 
Theobroma's port and toolchain. If those people cannot write an ISR and 
consider that their crappy executable loader is "production grade", what's the 
next issue we are going to discover?
And I guess RTEMS should boot faster than Linux :)

I'll evaluate it and if it's good, I may look forward to using RTEMS for the 
end product, but keeping the Linux port as a side/background project that 
might turn useful in the future, for some people or for demonstrations.

Yeah, however the wiki says the USB stack is working, even if not merged yet.
