Chip-Details
Falcon Mountain is the codename for the PRX300 family of SoCs for Optical Networking Units (ONUs)[1].
Early development dates back to Lantiq times, that's why they are MIPS based like the Seale GRX network SoCs.
Although Intel acquired all they did not add an Intel CPU like they did with the Puma6. Likely they were short in time.
After Intel sold all to Maxlinear they removed the product page (archived). Now MaxLinear has a product page.
The Falcon consists of (at least) 2 processors, the single core Bootcore and the multi core Interaptiv, both running Linux.
The Interaptiv has 4 logical cores (dual core with "hyperthreading" each) but only 3 cores are used for the main PRX Linux.
The 4th logical core is used for the proprietary MPE firmware mpe_fw_be.img, which is handled by ltq_mpe_hal_drv.ko.
Excerpt from the 5590 fw 7.50 PRX main boot log:
[ 0.075686] avm_register_cpuid: cpu_id=0: LINUX core=0 tc=0 [ 0.081292] avm_register_cpuid: cpu_id=1: LINUX core=0 tc=1 [ 0.086887] avm_register_cpuid: cpu_id=2: LINUX core=1 tc=0 [ 0.092527] avm_register_cpuid: cpu_id=3: MPEFW core=1 tc=1 ...

[ 0.249144] Primary data cache 32kB, 4-way, PIPT, no aliases, linesize 32 bytes [ 0.249155] MIPS secondary cache 256kB, 8-way, linesize 32 bytes.

The Bootcore Linux is very minimalistic, it consists of busybox, supervisor and the FIT-Image tools bootslotctl and annexctl,
and their libraries libbootslotctl.so and libannexctl.so. The only external module is cpunet.ko for Inter-CPU communication.
Besides this it is prepared for trustedd by having libminneapolis.so installed (5590), on the 5530 trustedd is present.
