| Take a look at this interesting post made by Stefan Burström (at least, it should be him) on ANN:
http://www.ann.lu/comments2.cgi?show=1098477702&category=news&number=95#comment
I really hope this news will be confirmed! If so, it looks like the patch involved some hardware modifications, too, as mentioned by Don Cox in a reply to that comment.

You're right. I was just happy to read that statement.

I believe he is referring to the hardware patch for the XE board. Could be wrong, though. _________________

The patch is under testing on my machine right now, and as soon as it has been tested on a broader range of board, we will make the patch available

Looks like a hardware patch is required (as well as a slftware one?) from what is mentioned in that thread!

Why not discuss it? It's hardly a state secret that a fix for the UDMA lock-up problem was being tested.
I'm very interested to hear if this fix has been tested on SE boards, because there's been no mention of anything but the XE up till now.

Look what he said here
Only a few bits from this thread:
