Hi all, We are begining a new project with eight DSP56366 as a big version of an existing one with a DSP56303. We need to use external DRAM in each DSP. In the first project, the DSP used EDO DRAM because it was available and the DSP supported this memory directly. However now, the memory manufacturers are not recommending EDO DRAM for news projects; they recommend SDRAM. The DSP563xx doesn't support SDRAM and Motorola doesn't give us any solution, excepting to change the design to the StartCore family, which is not acceptable, because we work for the audio industry and the DSP56k is something like a standard for audio processing (the design is an open platform for Audio DSP programmers, which have already a lot of code written for this platform). Has anyone used an external SDRAM controller with these DSPs succesfully? (FPGA, CPLD, PAL, peripheral chip...) Regards. |
