Thank you for your interests.

The hardware architecture is basically like 32-bit MIPS, with five
stage pipe line.  It's like ARM or SuperH, it only has sixteen
registers.  Instructions format is 16-bit and 32-bit, which should be
aligned to 32-bit.

It is used for embedded system, such as digital camera by Fuji Film,
mobile phone, some factory automation system, and so on.

Well, I speak about cross compiling, because every man have to go
through that way at least once, to be real man.  I mean, to reach the
status of native compilation. :-)
