really stupid
It's only unique as to it's pin configuration - there are loads of arm cores out there with memory controllers & lcd controllers built into them, and I would of thought you'd know that the smc controller is just software considering that you have built an sdk around it
It's true that the PSP is only cpu speed locked due to battery capacity.
Samsung's S3C2440,
ARM920T CPU Core,up to 533Mhz Core speed,
LCD Controller,
USB Host/Device interface 2 Port ,
AC97 Audio Codec,
!!!!!! SD Host/MMC (Multi Media Card) I/F !!!!!!
Operating Conditions
* Internal: 1.2V / 1.3V
* External: I/O: 3.3V
* Speed: 300/400/533MHz @ 1.1-1.3V
* Memory Interface: 2.5V / 3.3V
Wow, this chip looks very nice, someone wants to build a new machine with this chip ?
Count me in, i can design a nice layout with eagle ....
with 2 aa's?

A SMC card is a Memory Card with Memory, but missing the Controller to organize the memory. This controller is build into the s3c240 chip ( look chapter 19 of pdf ). To control an SMC card you need, the SMC card, an controller (build in s3c240 chip ) and software to get access to the smc memory.
SMC cards are so damm dumb, a SD card is 1000x more nicer, comming with its own mem-controller.
The s3c240 chip offers, again,

wait cna you explain what that means we can do?It's only unique as to it's pin configuration - there are loads of arm cores out there with memory controllers & lcd controllers built into them, and I would of thought you'd know that the smc controller is just software considering that you have built an sdk around it

Hmmm, since I wrote GpDrive, I think I know how to talk to SMC's
The media controller built into the s3c2400x is serial-based, and is compatible with MMC and SD cards. It is not compatible with SMC's, which are parallel based. SMC's certainly do have a controller, and support various commands (I use them!).
In comparison, SD cards are a hell of a lot easier to talk to, as they are just serial data on a clock that can be anything upto 25Mhz. The controller inside the s3c2400x helps by allowing you to do all SD/MMC access in the background, and supports things like CRC calculation and error detection, so you don't have to do it yourself.
If you take apart a GP32, you'll find which pins are connected to the Smart media socket, and then find out that those pins are controlled directly as standard i/o pins via software in the SDK.
well maybe if I spelt CAN right you would be able to tell
