Thanks.

I'd noted that it did not have the external DMA pins that
the MPC8349EA has. However, I believe that I can live with
that. We had used those pins for flow control with an
FPGA configuration controller. However, I can do that with
an interrupt if need be.

Ira - could you please take a look at the DMA controller
and see if you think it'll work for us.

Cheers,
Dave
