The OTP team has never tried building Erlang/OTP for Axis development
boards.

The cross compiling support in the Erlang/OTP build system does not
support cross compiling that well. There is a VxWorks cross compiling
target in the built system that can be used as a base for createting a
new target.

And using the card as a build host avoiding cross compilation seem
hard to do. Just 8 MByte of RAM that can't be ugraded, skipped with
uClinux that doesn't support an MMU (even if there seem to be
indications that using the MMU version of the processor, ETRAX 100LX,
it should be possible to run a more standard Linux).
