You may also have a look a sys/arch/arm/xscale to see if/how your particular
XScale is supported. There are also two documents that might help (sorry,
I forgot URLs): "NetBSD device writer's guide", "Porting BSD to a new

Find out which of evbarm variants is most similar to your platform, make
a replica under a new name, and modify it until it works :-).
