We considered the 21161, actually have the EZ-Kit but my boss doesn't
want to tackle BGA at the moment. We're using the SPORT TDM mode to communicate between 21065Ls. Thanks for the input.

I saw them at the last Embedded Systems show and they're a nice alternative for small volumes where you don't want to invest in your own BGA design. A very small circuit board incorporates CPU, memory, and I don't recall what else, with some .100 connectors on the bottom to connect to your own board. They'd make a good alternative to ezkits for prototyping. |

It includes SDRAM, Flash, EE Memory, JTAG and the Core Power Supply. The expansion is via 2mm connectors. We originally designed this board to incorporate into some internal projects since BGAs are expensive to use in small and moderate quantities. The module is easy to incorporate into your own custom design. Our dspstak 21161sx board is an example. This board incorporates a dspblok at its core. It provides USB, RS-232, Programmable Clocks, Power Supply, etc. This board uses a two layer pc board and took 3 days to design and layout (before software).
