If you mean 'both banks" as a memory bank at the local bus and another at the 60x bus, the answer is yes, our prototype hardware has them, for hardware debugging purposes. But I didn't enable the use of the local memory bank in Linux so far, because we didn't originally intend to use it in our final product... Nevertheless, I'm aware that using local bus memory for I/O data flowing between CPM and CPU may improve performance in some Linux applications, so I would like to experiment with this. Unfortunatelly, I'm very new to Linux, so I don't know how to configure it for using local memory. If you have any ideas... Thanks. ~Ricardo ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
