the block diagram is old? It says 8MB SDRAM and the specification above suggest 16MB. Also it looks a lot like the old one http://www.lantronix.com/pdf/XPort-Pro_IG.pdf . wonder if it is a newer CPU with MMU.

Ok – so actually quite a limited task domain (but applicable to many kinds of devices)… Ta!
