Folks...

I have just checked in a port to ADI Engineering's Big Red Head (BRH)
evaluation/development board for the Intel i80200 XScale processor.

The BRH uses ADI's Big Endian Companion Chip (BECC) which, as its name
implies, supports big-endian operation.  We currently use it in little-
endian mode, but support for big-endian mode will come along in the near
future.

The BECC also happens to have the fastest memory controller available for
the i80200, which means this is probably the fastest ARM platform you
can currently buy.

These boards have 128M of RAM, 2 10/100 Ethernet ports, 2 serial ports,
and a 64-bit PCI slot.  The BECC is in an FPGA; FGPA <= v7 limits the
memory to 64M because it only has 2 32M DMA windows.  An FPGA upgrade to
>= v8 will take care of this problem.

This port has been contributed by Wasabi Systems, Inc.

Here's a dmesg for the curious.  Share and enjoy!
