> full bootloader and on-board boot firmware source.

on-board boot ROM, sorry.  shorter.  if everyone's good with it
i'll write to roberto.

next we need to work out what (and where) to put something
about these:

this is a good clean design, i like it

it's actually pretty similar to what would go on our SoCs,
particularly if we could get hold of a PCIe PHY.

however... 2x DDR3, that's 250-300 pins, right there.
(actually just found the datasheet, it's 1x 32/64 so will
be around... 200-250).  3 PCIE x4
plus a PCIe x2, is... a looot more.  300+ i think.

datasheet says it's 780 pins FP-PBGA, 23x23mm
