Very cool - maybe a bit too much power for the MIPS cpu though.... in any case, is there a whitepaper on this new sigma board anywhere? I am curious to know if the hardware crypto services are only available to secure execution space applications, or available to any hosted application that can run on the platform. I am guessing that this board is >$100 BOM.. ?
