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?

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.
