Does anyone know what kind of cores these RISC cores will be? Will it be some lower end ARM version, or MIPS? Will it be something for which a wide array of tooling already exists, or will this have its own custom architecture which only works with their toolchain?

They have the cores and they are custom, if I read the blurb right. They already have the cores!

According to the kickstarter page the RISC cores are ARM A9.

There are two ARM A9 cores (running Ubuntu) and 16 custom Epiphany cores.
