However, the built-in [ARM920T](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM9#ARM920T) +processor has more power than the Saturn. + +And now there's a firmware to unleash the power: **newRPL**: + +[Project homepage](http://hpgcc3.org/projects/newrpl) + +It's very usable at this point, but not all features are implemented yet.
