It's an Kirkwood 88F6281 --- which actually turns out to be the same
processor, AFAICT, as in my SheevaPlug. In practical terms an ARMv5TE.

(Annoyingly, Marvell don't appear to document what kind of ARM core
their devices have. *Plus* some marketing drone at HR managed to
misquote the CPU model, which is where the '6281' came from. *Plus*
Linux' /proc/cpuinfo is reporting a different version number to
Marvell's documentation, which is where the '88FR131' I quoted came
from. Heigh ho.)

You *can* get ipkg for this, and can therefore install any Optware
package; and I know Lua is available. Instructions here:
