OK, so I have v2 running with bitrev and lib/crc32. However, on the 
socrates board, it does not run stable. Looks like a size issue, perhaps 
some of the memory is overwritten. I'll have to investigate further.

I guess for this v1, it would be the same, depending on SPL size. So 
please do not push this v1, it probably wouldn't always work.

Thanks,
Simon
