Don't mean to ruin your excitement, but IBM (and others) have 
been making machines of this sort for at least 2 years now... 
We like to call them "network computers"

Btw I think you mean StrongARM cpu ("Advanced RISC Machine")
Very low power-usage, it's a nice architecture.

I agree, it would seem to be quite the platform for
building completely custom ECU...
