It is a dumb board with some 'clever' interrupt logic. The manual describes
the logic, but we haven't got the driver working yet (working on a new
driver). It seems that the UART INT signal doesn't get through to the
motherboard, so maybe the manual isn't telling everything about the on-board
logic. :-(

Yeah, I'm trying to get a Cyclades board and see if it can be made to work..
but I have no idea when I can get one :-(
