 it's not so baaaad :)

 aww superb find mikael.  ok.  up to  533mhz DDR3 RAM and up to 2gbyte
addressing but ooo ouch, only a 16-bit wide interface.  ouch.  RGB/TTL
LCD, HDMI and LVDS, that's good.  oh, good!  it's got one of those
8/16-bit EHI interfaces.  those are really useful for putting on
external peripherals.  gigabit ethernet not just 100mbps, wow!
supports RGMII as well, excellent.  storage: 8/16-bit NAND, up to 4
Chips at a time; SD/MMC 3.0, USB2 and USB-OTG; video inputs include
_three_ Transport Streams (wow), as well as camera in, 4 video input
controllers.  audio includes SP/DIF as well as AC/97 and 7-channel
I2S.

 utterly cool.  so the only thing missing that would make it a perfect
EOMA-68 candidate is the lack of SATA.  i so do not understand why
they left SATA off this IC.  it would make it a perfect low-cost TV /
VDR IC, *especially* with it having *three* MPEG Transport Stream
Interfaces.  not having SATA is just crazy, it adds $2 to $2.50 to the
BOM.

 anyway - does anyone know of an SATA EHI PHY chip?
