We did a partial port to the NetSilicon Net+ARM 50 and this was 
contributed to this list some time ago. When I compare the functionality 
of the NS7502 and the Net+50, I have the impression the NS7520 is
a subset of the Net+50 (lacking ENI Co-processor, less DMA channels,
IEEE 1284 interface, less GPIO).

So it seems that the Net+50 port would be quite useable, but we would
need to add the Ethernet support.

Thanks,
