I would expect WLAN-centric chips/modules to be very constrained when it comes to peripherals. For example, the AR9331-AL1A doesn't have an LCD interface, seems to lack MMC completely, and so on. I'd also question the wisdom of designing with a chip that's not fully documented. For something Ya-like, I'd rather look at chips like Freescale's i.MX233 and i.MX283. They come with complete and publicly accessible documentation, pack a lot of peripherals, including voltage regulators, are fairly inexpensive, and are already supported by Linux. You can find other open designs using at least the i.MX23. The i.MX283 is the clearly nicer choice, both in terms of capabilities and in terms of price, but it's only available as BGA, increasing the development cost. The i.MX233 is available in LQFP. They run at "only" 454 MHz, but that's still plenty for a Ben-grade device. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
