The 145 worked as of a release about 2 weeks ago.  I'm assuming it should
still work.  If not, it should be simple to use the old code for it and
the new code for the others.

Like most of the others, it too hung during the ADB stuff.  No real
surprise, of course, but thought I'd mention it.

Hope the backlighting works out.  I hate it when I boot serial console and
have to reboot 'cause I forgot to turn backlighting off....

Thanks for all your work,
