i'm giving serious consideration, even at this late phase, to adding SD/MMC to EOMA68 by way of the GPIO pins as a multiplexing option. this would not have any impact on the EOMA68-A20 CPU Card: in fact, the only reason this can be considered at all is because the pins *happen* to be multiplexed as SD/MMC and GPIO *anyway*.
this would also happen to give EOMA68 an SPI port as well.
the idea came to me because it's something that's been forced on EOMA-26 due to the small number of pins (26) on EOMA-26.
after looking at dozens of SoCs i don't think i've seen a single one these days which *only* has a [non-multiplexed] SD/MMC port. even if there was one that did (at an affordable price), a cross-bar buffer IC would take care of that.
does anyone have any objections, and/or can think of any gotchas which would prevent SD/MMC from being added as a non-optional multiplexed option to EOMA-68?
