If you're serious about XScale development you're better off rolling
your own board with the 80200 and the 80312 companion unless you want to
wait for the next rev of the board which is only good for evaluation and
obviously isn't very high priority for that design team. The 80310
schematics are readily available. There isn't much in the design and
layout isn't much of a problem if you're used to circuits with clock
speeds of +100MHz.

ADI also has a development board for the 80200 with an FPGA for SDRAM
controller. Intel also gives you the FPGA hardware hooks in VHDL to the
host bus if you want to add your own PCI bridge core.
