GG 09:21 AM Software Development: RE: Starter Guide: "Boot the MityDSP-L138 up into linux." - How?
Hi Keith,
If you purchased the cards without a development kit then it is expected that they come only with u-boot installed. All of the cards purchased from us will have at least u-boot installed.

GG 06:04 PM Software Development: RE: EMIFA clock
Hi Scott,
Yes, I'm fairly certain that changing the CPU clock will affect the EMIFA clock. By default the EMIFA and CPU clock are at a 1:3 ratio. I believe this ratio is variable though. You can find additional details in the Chapter ...

SW 02:35 PM Software Development: EMIFA clock
Hello,
I've got an Industrial IO board and want to change the cpu clock frequency from 300 to 45 MHz. I know this will change the uPP clock to above spec 456/4=114MHz instead of 75MHz. Will this also change the clock on the EMIFA? th...

Hi,
We also have received a batch of Mity1808 cards which have not been programmed with kernel. We are able to programme a kernel and filesystem onto these cards - so no immediate problems. However we are not sure as to what to expect...

Hello François,
You are correct, the upper ~15MB is not configured by default. You can certainly add another section (we often do on projects here, called "DDR2") in the DSP/BIOS configuration on the project to utilize this block of ...

Documentation said that 32 MB are reserved for DSP. When I look at the DSP memory mapping, it seems that 15 MB of memory is "lost".
