I looked at the schematic and saw nothing. I saw |
| 10 |
the USB, but wanted SATA, as in a home-built |
| 11 |
Netbook type of application was my immediate desire. |
| 12 |
With that kind of processing power and DVI & HDMI out, I |
| 13 |
had a hard time believing there is no SATA native |
| 14 |
or hacked hardware solution. It's intended for mobile, |
| 15 |
so why not support sata (for laptop size HD)? |
| 16 |
Hard to believe that was missed or is not forthcoming, |
| 17 |
imho. |

I looked at the url above and saw no listing of sata. |
| 23 |
I read about this off of the gentoo embedded handbook |
| 24 |
as the latest entry {boards 9}, so I was hoping Armin or |
| 25 |
somebody had tried Sata or knew of a Sata solution for this |
| 26 |
hardware maybe in a different (newly pending) version of the |
| 27 |
processor or board. This is the right community, since it is |
| 28 |
clearly posted in the handbook. I will post elsewhere and I |
| 29 |
have already asked TI directly about sata support on that |
| 30 |
OMAP family.... but no answers yet. |

Much of the information and docs are just too new |
| 34 |
to be complete. Just like the previous OSWALD-gentoo |
| 35 |
connection that I discovered, flushing out a story in the |
| 36 |
Linux Journal on this list, I hoped to uncover a deep |
| 37 |
connection between PandaBoard and Gentoo........... Who |
| 38 |
knows maybe somebody else on this list, besides Armin, is |
| 39 |
deeply involved in the PandaBoard efforts. No doubt, since |
| 40 |
the gerbers et. al. exist, it wont be long before somebody |
| 41 |
puts a SATA bus interface, to this project. Me, I can think |
| 42 |
of DNS servers (sata not required); AND mail servers and |
| 43 |
media servers where SATA is critical, just off the top of my |
| 44 |
head. Sure USB is ok, but native sata would be much cooler, |
| 45 |
imho. Power savings alone will pay for the $174(us) price |
| 46 |
tag. I've already ordered one from digikey. |

So sorry if I ruffled your feathers..... |
