Cool :-)
4MHz crystal! Weird. I guess that sucker draws EVEN more current than the other one through the crappy regulator.
Someone should get one sent to me for testing :-)
I wonder if you could desolder the XDP part and drop on the XEP chip... if so, maybe we could get cheap chip only upgrades for existing DP users. Someone with a BDM could fix up the bootloader for those people soldering blank chips on.
If we move to this it will stop a LOT of you V8 wankers from whinging ;-)

Yeah, I guess Freescale is really good about compatible pinouts between chips.
v8 wankers............. stop hating on cheap power

Above is from the XEP product brief. The 112 pin part misses out on 8 timers!

That is just the pin out stuff, the peripherals are still present internally. IE, someone with a low pin count chip can only use N IO ports, but the software will remain the same for the higher pin count variants. Any bit banged timers will still continue to work the same regardless of pin out or not.
The main point being that the TA board is a minimal part in either the DP or the EP case. You can pick up a bunch of ADC channels on the DP on higher pin count packages. Same goes on EP but with timers too. IE, if someone builds a board using the 204 pin chip, they can have it all mint as you like.
