Sorry, can't decode the attachment. Could you please send it inline? Thanks.

The 440EP (Yosemite) has a DDR controller and the 440EPx (Sequoia) has a total 
different DDR2 controller. And both boards you mentioned are not equipped 
with DIMM modules and therefore don't have an SPD EEPROM.

How far are with your 440EPx porting?

Autsch! I really don't like such braindead designs (8bit _and_ 16bit flash on 
one EBC). Makes software really complicated. Please don't do this on your 
440EPx design. ;-)

BTW: Sorry, but I the review of your patch will take a little longer, since we 
are on the Embedded World fair in Nuerberg this week.

Best regards,
Stefan
