Peter, I dunno if you are already aware of it, but the USB peripheral mode hangs 
on MX233. It's easy to replicate for example if you try to run CDC ethernet over 
the USB peripheral mode, then telnet into the board and run "dmesg" . This will 
trigger a "larger" data transfer which will make the UDC driver hang. This 
doesn't happen on MX28 so it must be some MX233-specific thing.
