[ For those not in the know: the IXP2400 is basically just an xscale (which is Intel's version of ARM) processor, with some extra on-chip processing logic for fast network processing. The chip itself has an integrated memory controller, 64b/66MHz PCI unit, 4Gbps SPI-3 bus, and 8 on-chip processors which have a very simple instruction set designed to do network-related things such as switching, routing, firewalling, etc. It can do full wire speed 4xGbps processing, and its bigger brother, the IXP2800, does full wire speed 10xGbps. ]
So how close is this processor to the older StrongArm processor used in the now orphaned Netwinder?
I don't think xscale code runs on the strongarm.
I'm not sure if strongarm code runs on the xscale -- can you send me a statically linked hello world binary to find out? (Is the strongarm mixed endian like the xscale?)
