Hi,
  Seeing as there's been a lot of talk of Freescale's offerings on the
PIClist recently, I decided to take a look at their website... and noticed
the ColdFire CPUs.
  Has anyone had a play with the Coldfires? I'm looking at the MCF5307 and
the MCF5206e. Anyone got any comments? The SDRAM interface looks interesting;
I'm sure I could scavenge a few 32MB SDRAM modules from somewhere, and DIMM
sockets aren't exactly hard to get (find old motherboard, soak joints in
flux, heat, remove, repeat). Do the Coldfires have any weird clock or timing
requirements?
  Also, has anyone tried Freescale's online samples ordering system? How long
did it take from ordering to delivery?

  These CPUs look pretty cool.. especially seeing as they're capable of
running Linux (<http://www.uclinux.org/>).

Thanks,
