Ouch.

It's been a couple of years since I've had to mess with the ArtPrPMC board.
There is, IIRC, there is a doorbell register in the CPC700, but I don't 
have the spec
handy.  My last use of the prpmc was with vxworks and shared memory 
messaging
using a doorbell.

Umm... I recall stating the XPEDITE1000 from X-ES was supported by u-boot
(I'll have to submit another patch to Wolfgang as they(XES) changed some 
stuff wrt
flash write protect, I've also moved the env from the cramped i2c eeprom 
(bad) to
the intel flash).

I'd have to check the u-boot source for PrPMC support, as I haven't run 
u-boot on it.

Best Regards, and good luck!
