damn, I keep having to double check because it's almost unbelievable they can pack that much capability into something so cheap?

- joezydeco 15y agoBecause so much functionality is being packed on these SoC devices now. You literally hook these chips up to some RAM and Flash and add some I/O connectors of your choice, and you're in business.
- someperson 15y agoThis particular SoC already has RAM built in too, if I remember correctly.
- joezydeco 15y agoThat's pretty awesome, then. Because your other options are to stack the RAM on top of the chip like older OMAP parts, or put the RAM on the board and hope you get the circuit trace timing and impedences right.
- someperson 15y agoSorry, it seems the RAM is indeed stacked on top of this chip, it's not built in. My knowledge of SoC technology in general is fleeting.
