    We are trying to use the Xscale pxa270, bare chip or in modules. But
    most of the modules we checked are limited in memory and require
    building a board anyone. So, we are close to building a 3.5"x3.5"
    module with SDRAM and CF. Now, we need to figure out how to port linux
    on it. Our idea is to Jtag a 2K boot loader on the CF in memory mapped
    mode and the rest in IDE mode. The board will have 128M minimum and
    USB host controller (for external devices).

    We can provide hardware and incentive for people who want to contribute
    on the

    1. Boot loader itself (ARM assembler)
    2. Jtag loader (loading the above from a PC)
    etc.

    The rest should be just standard ARM linux.
