Interest check: An updated MiniITX-MiniMig ( Pics!!! )

[bloodline]

Certainly,  yaqube's improvements are making the MiniMig a far more attractive proposition!!!

I look forward to these!

I consider it as the next step of Minimig evolution (all together with switching from SRAM to SDRAM, 16MB of SDRAM are cheaper and faster then 2MB of SRAM).

But are there enough I/O on the FPGA to support SDRAM? Or are we talking a new PCB?

Sounds like a new PCB to me... we are losing PIC for an ARM etc...

Oi! I resent that! :-P

ARM Micro seems overkill, especially if it needs own RAM and program Flash on the plugin board, I guess it is what you had to hand, which model is it?

I would assume the ARM board would be for development, and Retro upgrades... but if he wants to swap out the SRAM, then the existing board simply can't work?!? SRAM and SDRAM are electrically totally different :-)

Wow. Great looking PCB. Be sure to put rulers alongside when you take photos so we can get the scale.
