Supported Board Types
- Technologic Systems TS-7200
The TS-7200 is a low-cost mass-produced PC/104 embedded single board
computer intended as a general purpose core for real embedded
applications. The TS-7200 uses the Cirrus Logic EP9302 ARM9
system-on-chip and comes with a PC/104 (isa) bus and can either boot
to CompactFlash or onboard flash. The board also has general purpose
digital IO and optional multichannel analog-to-digital converters.

ADI's BECC ("Big Endian Companion Chip"). The BRH
is capabile of both big- and little-endian operation, although
NetBSD currently only supports little-endian operation. More
information about the BRH can be found on
ADI
Engineering's web page.
Support for the BRH was written by Jason Thorpe, and contributed
by Wasabi Systems, Inc.

- Other devices inserted into the PCI slot
The BRH comes with 128M of SDRAM. Systems with BECC revision 7
or less are limited to 64M due to the layout of the PCI DMA
windows. Users of these systems should obtain an FPGA upgrade
from ADI to revision 8 or later of the BECC.

The NTNP425B is capabile of only big-endian operation.
Since the library for micro-engine(NPE) offered from
Intel Corp. is big-endian. More information about the
NTNP425B can be found on
product catalogue of NTNP425B(2.5MB,PDF file).
