Reference Design Kit. 

A chip manufacture generally has a reference board which uses most of
the functionality of the chip. They generally make the board design
available, so that anybody wanting to design a new board around the
chip can start with the RDK and add/remove parts and customize it to
there own requirements. 

Marvell are a bit closed about there RDKs, so i picked an AT91 as an
example:

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=4281&category_id=163&family_id=605&subfamily_id=1964

All the design files are there for download.

Many boards using an AT91SAM9XE will be similar to this. So if the
pinmux driver supports this board, it will be a good basis for all
other boards which use the AT91SAM9XE.
