> +The External Bus Interface (EBI) controller is a bus where you can connect
> +asynchronous (NAND, NOR, SRAM, ....) and synchronous memories (SDR/DDR SDRAMs).
> +The EBI provides a glue-less interface to asynchronous memories though the SMC
> +(Static Memory Controller).
> +Synchronous memories (and some asynchronous memories like NANDs) can be
> +attached to specialized controllers which are responsible for configuring the
> +bus appropriately according to the connected device.
> +In the other hand, the bus interface can be automated for simple asynchronous

What do you mean by specialized devices ? Can you give an example ?
