In the recent NeXT thread Eric mentioned the TI Beagle Board
(http://beagleboard.org/).  It's quite neat:  $150 for a 3" x 3" PCB
w/ a 600 MHz ARM core, HD capable video, and SD card, audio, serial,
USB and DVI ports.  The documentation seems fairly complete, although
according the mailing list there are issues about how much of the
video and DSP interfaces will be documented.  Hardware-wise it seems
it only needs Ethernet to make it capable of being a Plan 9 terminal,
although in theory that can be added via USB.

How much would be involved in porting Plan 9 to it?  Would the current
Plan 9 ARM compiler be up to the task?
