CR 11:59 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) PCB Development: Used EMIFA-Signals/Pins
Hi,
which EMA-Pins of the EMIFA-Interface already connected to the L138-onboard-peripherials?
I couldn't found any detaild informations about.
Thanks,

MW 08:35 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) PCB Development: RE: MityDSP-L138F Mounting Holes (Posted on behalf of a customer)
Short answer is yes, 1.6mm maximum height. And you should probably hold to that height for the entire area below SOM as per the design guide, as there are a couple of small IC's outside the area in the drawing that was posted and there ... Michael Williamson
WC 08:11 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) PCB Development: RE: MityDSP-L138F Mounting Holes (Posted on behalf of a customer)
The drawing you provided highlights a keep-out area for high profile components. What is the maximum component height allowed in this area? Is it 1.60 mm as specified in Figure 2 of the carrier board design guide?
Thanks.

Have you set the protocol number correctly, both in the packet and on the linux (335x in this case) machine? If the IPv4 stack cannot match the protocol # it will drop it (I believe).

Sorry. da8xx_cfg_reg_list should have been davinci_cfg_reg_list(), typo, my mistake.

Thanks for the explanation and fast reply as usual. I think you're probably right that the mainline kernel isn't ready for prime-time. I guess the staging branch I found is going to stay in staging for quite some time until TI...

Hi Jeff,
Can you confirm you are running the kernel you are building out of MDK_2012-03-12? The uname command you ran indicates a 2.6.34 kernel, and that MDK should have a 3.2 release kernel and a newer filesystem. If you are runnin...

JB 07:34 PM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RS232 UART Needed

For my immediate project, I need:

If you purchased the cards without a development kit then it is expected that they come only with u-boot installed. All of the cards purchased from us will have at least u-boot installed.
