oh snap i forgot about that bad-boy.  that may be just the thing i'm
looking for.  looks like the board is driven by this:

Freescale i.MX6 single / dual / quad core Cortex-A9 MPCore, up to 1.2GHz


there seems to be initial support of a xylinx SOC using the cortex-a9 here:

this may be a winner...def seems like a fun bit of kit to hack on :)
