Looking for good supported South bridge for mpc6841d

Hello,

I'm on designing of a new embedded board, based on mpc6841d and South Bridg=
e=20
ULi M1575. As =D0=B0 reference design, I use Freescale HPCN board. However =
after=20
consult with chip's distributor, it became clear that the M1575 is already=

discounted. Now I'm in looking of an another solution. Can somebody recomme=
nd=20
me an alternative, good supported from u-boot and have SATA, USB, Audio on=
=20
it? The chip must be connected with mpc6841d over PCI-Express.

Best regarsds,

I think the only alternatives you have are chips from Via and perhaps
Sis. It looks like Via has some nice south bridges which do what you
want, see:

Thank you for the anser!

Unfortunately VIA and SIS uses own connection bus between North and Sout=20
bridges - V-map and MuTiol.
I found AMD's SB600 and SB7x0 bridges, that seems to connect through=20
PCI-Express. Are they from u-boot spupported?
