[Arm-netbook] Another chip to consider for a future EOMA product

[Stéphane Goujet]

Hello,

  The remarks I will make are based on the Quark X1000 datasheet, not
on the Galileo documentation.

  There is no OTG port on the SoC, but a Device port.

  2 ports indeed, but RMII (Fast Ethernet), not RGMII (Gigabit).

  I have to say I really do not understand why it supports x8 chips only
and not x16. I must miss a point.


Goodbye,
