This is more like a topic in Appliance list ;)

SoC? Most SoC solutions are ARM/MIPS based, currently Solaris won't run on 
those architecures, in addition to ISA differences, average SoC solutions do 
not have the memory capacity to run Solaris.

However, by looking at the requirement you mentioned. ViA Eden platform seems 
to be a fit. You might already know where to look at, anyway, try here first,

Besides the h/w compatibility, have you considered primary non volatile storage 
of your target platform? For an "embedded" system, hard disk is an overkill. 
However, if Compact Flash card is used, you might need to take swap activity 
into consideration. CF does not last long when working under swap like load.
