   Ah, that. I worked with the TeakLite III.   
      
   In addition to the hardvard thing, I remember its smallest addressable   
   is was 16 bits, From the host processor (ARM) in that SoC, it appeared   
   to have "funny endian": 32 bit words written by the TeakLite appeared   
   in 2143 order or something, not 1234 or 4321.
