21065L and SDRAM - Andor Bariska - Jul 27 9:24:00 2000



Hi group,

does anybody have experience using a two processor cluster of 21065L
Rev. 0.2 with shared SDRAM?

I have a feeling that because of its host of SDRAM bugs in the Anomaly
List, a shared SDRAM setup using Rev. 0.2 doesn't work.

Can anybody confirm or contradict?

Regards,
Andor Bariska

It's not a complete failure, but I wouldn't use 0.2 in an MP design. I
had some mysterious problems when I tried to run code from SDRAM with
0.2, that were very intermittent and impossible to characterize, so I
couldn't come up with a workaround. We finally banned 0.2 from our
product and the problems disappeared.

Do note that 0.3 still has a bug involving BMAX, so if you have latency
issues be sure to look at the errata sheet for potential workarounds.
