Embedded Planet does not build development boards, they build production boards for OEMs to integrate into products to reduce development cost and risk. There is always a debate about EDO versus SDRAM. Their design started wtih EDO, and since it continues to be available with both competitive cost and performance there isn't a reason to change the design. Products that wish to use SDRAM do so by placing it on their boards that connect to the Embedded Planet board. This allows the flexibility to add the necessary amount of memory for the product requirements. You can use the UPMB signals from the RPX-Lite processor bus connector in your design if you require SDRAM. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
