This page contains my notes about the Technologic Systems TS-7300 SBC

CPU

It's a Cirrus EP9302 ARM9 @ 200Mhz
It appears to have internal boot ROM that can boot from Flash, SPI, or UART... see #Boot EEPROM for more info

Boot EEPROM

If you look at the Logic trace, the current method of loading the data is very inefficient... it takes it 1 byte at a time. The Microchip datasheet implies that you can continue the clock and the data will keep flowing... maybe this is something to test with this chip, and improve later
