In fact I did a (quite low priority) research on how to port FPC to a new CPU such as NIOS and Blackfin and found that it of course is doable somehow. While NIOS seems to look more doable, as it's quite similar to MIPS (and ARM), Blackfin has a much more complex instruction set with a huge potential for low-level optimization. Thus I suppose Blackfin is quite hard to do.

Let me know if you (or somebody else) has more concrete plans on the integration of a new CPU. I just stripped down the machine files for a no_cpu machine (all fakes), with some documentation about the required units etc. An implementation of a new CPU, based on that skeleton, would rise the priority for further explorations and documentation.

I already have more suggestions for easier implementation of new machines...
