Are you using our card as a platform for the MK5028? If not, it does drop in as a replacement for the processor we use, and it might be interesting to get the code working. We evaluated the MK5028 but decided to do the frame relay stuff in software ('cause it wasn't that difficult and gave us more control), and the early versions of the processor just didnt work, and we couldnt wait for them to fix it. Nonetheless, people have been asking for source code for our board, and if you have code for the 5028 then you have most of the work done..Im sure there'd be lots of interest from our customer base, plus an OEM opportunity for yourselves.
