Thank you Robert! I forgot to mention that I'm looking at the BBW, but I think your answer refers to this one as well. What about the availability between both solutions? My intended development should be for industry, where they expect very very long product availability. Would a SIP be better over single components, or does Octavio face the same problems when any part gets end of life status?
Is the image really completely the same? No diff config in uboot or somewhere else? Not easy to compare, because the pinout for both ICs is different. [email protected] schrieb am Dienstag, 26.
