Oliver,

this is what I've been worrying about :-(
We wait urgently for the fist samples of the LPC1788 as well ...

Best regards
Herbert

Thanks Herbert. I saw the description of the LPC1778 and it looks really
great. Unfortunately, it is not available yet on Digikey (it will be a
low-to-medium volume project). This is why I turned to the LPC2xxx. On
another project, we have the LPC1768 already designed in but it does not
have an external memory bus.

I did check the manual before I sent the question (it happened to answer the
vast majority of my questions ;-) ) but I did not see a reference to a clock
output, this is why I wanted to double check.

Cheers

Oliver,

I don't know if the LPC1778 is already sampling, but this Cortex M3
device can output the clock as well (which is not possible for the ARM7
devices as far as I remember - but read the manual ;-)) and it's much
faster, and it's compatible to the LPC2378.

Hi,

I am working on a new design that involves an LPC2378 and an FPGA, in which
we plan to map specific hardware. The FPGA will be accessed via the EBI.

The problem is that the FPGA will require a clock and I don't seem to find
the EBI clock on the bus. Is there any way to retrieve it? An alternative
would be to use the LPC2468 in SDRAM mode but this would also increase the
complexity of the board...

Thanks in advance
