RDK and EVB are rather different boards. Get the RDK if you want to hook a logic analyser or some kind of system simulator up to it ... or are doing some system development that needs the extra stuff (software, for example) you get with it. Otherwise, get the EVB if you just want to use the chip. Most Linux folk are fine with the EVB, since its Linux driver seems to work pretty well. I suspect that PLX has a different marketing strategy than NetChip did. They'd probably rather that other folk sell EVB-ish boards; they're big enough that they probably can't afford the overhead of such products. - Dave > - Anand > > [1] <http://www.plxtech.com/products/net2000/net2282.asp> > [2] <https://avnetexpress.avnet.com/store/em/EMController/PLX-Technology/_/N-4294966144?action=products&catalogId=500201&cutTape=&hrf=www.avnet.com&inStock=&langId=-1&proto=&rohs=&storeId=500201&topSellers=> > [3] <http://www.semiconductorstore.com/cart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=13414> > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
