Just to be fair and for completeness, here is the info for e-infochips.
Please let me know if any of these met your requirements.

JS, Yes - I am using the EVMDM642 now, but I am coming to the end of my
prototype stage and trying to find a low cost solution to produce larger
numbers of my product.

I have developed my prototype based on the EVMDM642 (from TI/Spectrum
Digital).

I am now looking for ways to produce my own custom hardware platform (albeit
based on the EVMDM642).

Because the DM642 is a BGA and not easily placed, I am looking for a way to:

A) Create small numbers of my custom hardware platform.
The majority of my components can be hand-soldered, but placing the BGA
without an automated facility cannot be done. I see two ways to overcome
this:
i) Use a BGA socket or similar to place the BGA part.
ii) Split my custom hardware into two parts.
Use a bought in board for the DSP, SDRAM and FLASH (if I can find
such a board)
Build my own board for the application specific stuff which can
connect to the bought-in board.

B) Create a means to repeat the above in larger volumes with a minimum of
redesign.

Thanks for all of the thoughts and ideas so far, and thanks in advance for
any more.

Stephen.
