The reason given above is usually the one that prevent manufacturers from using LPDDR on "evaluation" boards. So all Atmel boards use SDRAM/DDR2/DDR3 not the LP variants. Final products (and internal validation boards, obviously) though use these type of RAM so we must be prepared to handle them. Best regards, -- Nicolas Ferre
