In my limited experience, U-Boot will run on an ARM7TDMI processor, but I've
not even thought about trying Thumb mode.

I have a set of patches in process that provide NS7520 processor support for
U-Boot, based upon similar patches I produced for uClinux.  U-Boot already
has support for other Net+ARM processors, so the changes are not too
invasive. The patches still need to be checked for compliance to the U-Boot
coding standards and any missing brain errors on my part, but I'll try to
get them out today.
