Hi Andras,

I know some of us are already toying with an indea to create a small
computer SoC, for example for handheld applications (lets say a PDA). But
instead of starting a project we are all busy finishing all the pieces
(read: cores). Maybe it is time to start such integration project. Probably
we would have to define specification for such handheld platform.

Right now I'm working with some others to put Linux (at this stage uClinux)
on OpenRISC 1200 and integrate some peripheral cores (uart, ethernet, usb,
vga etc).

regards,
Damjan
