Thanks, I see now. Didn't notice before. I guess you know what list I mean where only some i.MX processors are targetted at automotive use. Seems to be the kind of usual information inconsistency Freescale are noted for ;-)

I think you misunderstood my intention. I did *not* talk about what *I* think a certain chip can be used for if one wants to use it that way, but about what use *Freescale* themselves explicitly target that chip at. That's quite a difference, and that's why I countered your claim that *Freescale* would be targetting the i.MX515 at automotive use. Whether it's the case or not is unsure, as there are obviously contradictory information on the Freescale website. Fact however remains that the i.MX515 product page only lists netbooks and nettops as target applications.
And just to illustrate that you misjudged my intention let me tell you that I would love to see a certain desktop operating system on a certain embedded image processor. Not quite fitting, right? ;-)

Which specific actual i.MX processors do you think could substitute the MPC55xx/56xx?
