    Okay, this might be the case here.
    I'm really eager to know which CPU they seek to "replace" the QorIQ P1013 with. As far as I'm aware, the main reasons for going with the P1013 was that it provides USB, SATA, Ethernet and a DIU.
    Finding a suitable non-e500v2 Freescale PPC SoC with a DIU will be a problem I'm afraid. The MPC8610 has a DIU but lacks USB, SATA and Ethernet, and the MPC5121e/MPC5123 has all of that but is rather slow compared to the P1013. And while Applied Micro's APM86190 has USB, SATA, Ethernet and an on-chip LCD controller, I don't know the bandwidth (i.e. what resolution at which colour depth and which refresh rate) of the latter.
