Interesting post from RB... By: red_beard Post # of 56750 indeed.... nice to see that our slog is progressing. anybody know much about this LPC interface? seems to be an intel standard. as long as intel goes through with its stated plans pushing it, it should eventually be ubiquitous in the x86 (IA32/IA64) and maybe even StrongARM arenas. motherboard/chipset suppliers should easily be able to integrate embassy II as an LPC-connected component. USB currently tops out at 12Mb/s or so and intel.com seems to suggest that LPC 1.0 is ISA (with less pins) running at 33MHz. i'll assume that means 16-bit ISA? so we have something on the order of half of a regular old 32-bit PCI bus (bursting at ~133MB/s). LPC is quite a bit faster than USB :) should be great for higher bandwidth applications. some time back steven sprague had said something about embassy I being 100Mb/s-capable. if embassy II is similarly powerful, seems like we won't be bound by bus bandwidth as with USB. can't wait to see what kinds of applications people come up with for it. i bet the distributed.net folks will have a heyday with a few million embassies idling here and there..... long and loving it, marc
