The Beacon Embedded / LogicPD Torpedo and SOM-LV families (OMA35 and
DM37) are still being sold and I still run various tests on them
periodically. There is also an AM3517 that I still periodically test.

Once Micron kills off the RAM and they run out of supply and Beacon
cannot sell them anymore, I'll submit a patch to remove the
unsupported / EOL boards.
