05/03/07 - minor victories

1. oswaldo has told me how to access the EDK within the department.
2. although the microblaze is strictly speaking harvard architecture, its definitly possible and indeed well documented how to make it use a single memory bank, and if you use fast memory like DDR, then it doesnt disrupt the pipeline too bad.
3. I checked the pin out diagram for the VQ100. I was concerned too many pins might be clock or JTAG or whatever. Turns out its a 100 pin package, so 60 pins is 60 pins.
   Worryingly, these pins are arranged kinda randomly around the device. Multi layered outsourced boards might be a way to go. Especially if we ordered 10.

Apart from this, I have decided to handle programming in software, as this allows "on the board" stuff to be far more minimal. Also allows easier wrapping of packets in TCIP for routing or whatever. (?)
