Hi, Guys,

Two days ago, I published 2 photos for the 128M RAM upgrading. Now, we published the details as free already. Please check the below link in Chinese.

Hardware:
You could find the memory chip model in the below link. There are some photos which destrib the modify solution, it is easy to understand.

Software:

I simply translated it as below:
1) Memory Management in XV6700 (Look at the below character)
2)SDRAM Analysis
3)Connection between CPU with SDRAM
4)Bootloader
5)Bootloader Modify

I attached the bench mark report for 128M RAM 6700.

You could read it via internet translating system and I will publish the English version by this Friday.

Also, there is an WM6.1 XIP for XV6700 download, please refer the below link which is done by Jockey:

wow....the 67 will not die.....but I am pretty sure it required some serious surgery for the memory upgrade.

Aha...
Yes, it is "we", not just "I". This job was done by my team. We are testing the upgraded one, so far it is good! But there are still somethings unsolved.
Once we finished the test, we will share the upgraded solution with you.
In order to find the upgraded solution, we lost 3pcs of XV6700,

! But we are still glad to see it was final sucessful!

For the 6800, I think there are already many peoples are studying it to upgrade the RAM. I saw many threads talking about it. I only can say the design of Mogul is different with Apache, it is more difficult than Apache. But we are trying to do it. Because the Mogul is more expensive than Apache and there are few failed broads can be bought, our progress is slowly...

So how is it done?

Does anyone know if the 6700 and the 6800 are close enough in design that this could be a glimmer of hope for the Mogul?
