It is indeed that device. I'm not 100% sure, as I know Michal and Pavol
have a BeagleBoard which is also a Cortex A8 device.

I'll admit that my knowledge on the SoC side of things is limited, but I
was under the impression that there wasn't a huge difference between the
A8 and the A9. I've also just checked with the guys and gals in #linaro
and the message was "it will be just fine".

Andy
