EST is probably the way to go in your case then. A shame
considering theu are WindRiver. :-/
Oh, FYI, a non-reference platform that matches your custom hardware
is the SBS Denali board (http://www.sbs.com). It has a 740 and 106
bridge with a DEC21x4x and DEC21554 in a cPCI form factor.

The CPC700 is no more specific to IBM than the MPC105/6/7 are specific
to Motorola. I've worked on on boards with Raven/Hawk's, MPC105/6/7,
Galileo, CPC710, and CPC700. The IBM bridges are by far the most
versatile bridges on the open market (Raven/Hawk aren't available
except on an MCG board).
I'm seeing a lot of boards now becoming available with the CPC700.
About the only thing missing is a DMA engine which its cousin, the
CPC710, does have.
Good luck,
