Expand miniPCI/PCI on OMAP3530

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

Hi to all,

I would like to expand a miniPCI slot on omap3530. It seems that OMAP3530 chip do not have such a interface . I  intend to use a PCI chip such as PCI9054 and interface it with OMAP3530 but I dont know how to interface it. Could I put PCI chip on the OMAP's local bus?

I 've looked for some device that could convert usb or someting else  to a miniPCI but it seems that there are only ones converting miniPCI to usb.

I see TI have some PCI chips that could interface with TMS320 so I'd like to know  if I can add a TMS320 on my board. My board is a copy of beagleboard.  I want to make a daughter board which have a TMS320 and a miniPCI chip and a miniPCI slot on it. The two boards could communicate via USB or MMC or something else. I dont know if it's possible.

(A PCI slot is OK cause it can be converted to miniPCI)

Please advice, Thanks for any help!
