I have uCLinux building and running on the or1k simulator, but I dont have a 
board to try it out on.  I think there are a number of devices supported
already with the uCLinux port, but I haven't taken a look at which ones.  I 
would think that uCLinux installed on the prototyping board would yield a
working system without much hacking.
