Hi Warner,

I have been working on the R4k series for a while, most specifically
R4650. This was mostly related to hooking up IDT NicStar 77201/77211 SAR
chips. If you are stalled for some reason, let me know and I will be more
than glad to give you a hand. I just got freed from a major obligation and
seems like I will have some free time in the coming weeks/months.

Vinay
