Hello all,

I am doing some preliminariy research on finding a suitable embedded CPU for 
our next project on my workplace. The product of the product is in the 
25k-50k range and somewhat costsensitive. What we are looking for is an 
embedded CPU bassed on a semi-standard core (ARM, MIPS,PPC...etc.) for 
direct support in commerical OS distributions. We are aiming for a 
full-blown embedded linux system which requires an implemented MMU. The CPU 
will act as a system controller, webserver, data parser/processor 
(~10-15Mbit/s bin/text), hw controller and some other server services.

- Highspeed interface for interfacing to FPGA hardware - best case a 
parallel DMA supported port.

- Min 300MHz performance. (super rough estimate).

- I2C + SPI + UART.

- 10/100 Ethernet.

- Mem. controller (RAM and  flash ROM).

- Maybe support for compact flash / SD flash...etc.

- JTAG debug support.

- Maybe USB interface.

- Well supported and good tool-chain.

and most off all a cheap solution. Do you have any ideas of famalies or 
specific devices that will be suitable for a further investigation? Comments 
on the requirements are offcourse also most welcome!

Best regards

It reads like a product blurb for the AVR32 AP7, aside from 300 MHz part.
