Re: [microblaze-uclinux] SDRAM and Flash memories sharing the same pins
I've been bitten by shared signals between SDRAM and flash busses, but
solved (worked around) the problem by switching to a board that has
completely separate busses. Generally better if at all possible.
My issue was due to some shared control signals - not A/D busses. I
know that the Suzaku board has some creative custom logic in there to
handle some level of muxing SDRAM and flash busses - would be worth a
look to see if it'd apply in your case.
