“STMicroelectronics (STM) is sampling an inexpensive ARM-based
SoC (system-on-chip) with a 200K-gate configurable logic block. The
SPEAr Head (structured processor enhanced architecture) integrates
USB 2.0 host/device and 10/100 Ethernet interfaces, and targets
embedded control applications such as digital engines for printers
and scanners. It runs Linux, among several other embedded OSes.

“The SPEAr Head is based on an ARM926EJ-S core clocked at
266MHz. The core includes 32KB of instruction and 16KB of data
cache, along with 8KB each of data and instruction TCM (tightly
coupled memory)…”
