AFAIK, no one at Vyatta has tried a WRAP, but we have tried other Geode based boards. You should be a able to make it work, but the limited memory is definitely a factor for BGP. The kernel is currently configured for 486/SMP not Geode. However, the Geode random, frame buffer, and crypto drivers are compiled as kernel modules in the current image.
Good Luck. Cheers, Robert.
