ok, the data interface for all these chips sits in the i2c bus, so it looks like for much real encryption work this cape will be really slow, bottle necked and constrained by the chosen bus and it's bandwidth. I might also suggest for a rev 2 adding a set of 3 way jumpers such that it can sit on either i2c1 or i2c2. the inclusion of solder jumpers for pullups or not on the i2c bus was a good choice. I also fail to see what this cape does or assists with that the AM3358/AM3359 does not already do with it's on board cryptographic abilities which do at a minimum AES, SHA, & MD5, and possibly others.
