You're right, I've already done a port to this board. Unfortunately, it was
done a while ago and I no longer have the hardware so it wasn't moved forward

Do you happen to have a subscription with MontaVista? If so, let me know and
we can probably get something going for you in short order (with h/w). If not
but you are interested, check out http://www.mvista.com. Do you have a board
that you can give/lend me?
