There is LEON, which seems to be v8 only (and available for sale, though I
cannot say if in a way Debian could run on even if there was a working
kernel (LEON (especially amba bus) support in Linux seems to still need
to need special kernels, though there seems to be some efford to get
that mainline currently)).
