[U-Boot-Users] Reg. porting to pT-110 (ARM7TDMI??)

Hello.,
I'm trying to port the u-boot to a SigmaDesigns board. The board has a pT-110 based core. I know it is an ARM core., but not sure which version of the ARM. Google did not help much as the PicoTurbo (the original makers of pT-110) is out of business.
If anyone has worked on a related core., can you please confirm whether this is an ARM7TDMI compatible core?
And., any known issues on porting the u-boot to that processor?
Thanks

I know a bit about the picoturbo core, I'm pretty sure that is a regulation v4 implementation of the ARM architecture. It should be equivalent to the "TDMI" type of ARM processor like the ARM7TDMI.
I thought picoturbo signed over all of the pt-1xx assets over to ARM as part of the patent lawsuit resolution and ARM killed the design? What is this board you have? Is it something old or did the picoturbo designs come back to life?

Ok., thats what I've assumed. Hope I dont run into surprises. :-S

Yeah., it did. And., the PicoTurbo site is no more. And., no manuals for that core around either. :(

This is a board provided by SigmaDesigns based on their 8620L product (http://www.sigmadesigns.com/public/Products/EM8620L/EM8620L_series.html).
In the u-boot sources., I dont see a CPU architecture for ARM7TDMI., but I do see a folder for ARM720T which ARM's site says belongs to the same ARM7 family. I guess that'll be my starting point :)
