ok, so anything that goes beyond the available budget is just.... not possible. a mixture of RAM ICs would require an evaluation and a quote on exactly how much it would cost to split - and massively complicate - both the *ordering* of the RAM ICs *and* the production of the PCBs.
so it may turn out that consideration of the proposed idea would be MASSIVELY more expensive even than doing all PCBs @ 2GB of RAM.
a way to *increase* the budget is therefore the most sensible option to explore and consider. translation: someone needs to find more money.
Okay, but when I meant paying a little more, I meant what you would need to do it for one person. Aka on an invididual basis if need be... request + money aka...
If more money can be found however, everyone. Though I dunno how much you would need......
4gb would be nice too of course, but 2gb is probably good enough as long as you don't use virtualization for any reason. :)
4gb physical RAM addressing has never been possible with any Allwinner processor, ever. bit of an oversight on their part.
I would agree
It also dawns on me, that meltdown does not affect the a20 arm processor...
correct.
I thought so... :)
