No need for new driver? How the Pandaboard "see" the FPGA? I mean it is 
like an extra memory and this way data can be sent form Pandaboard to the 
FPGA?

What's the maximum speed that can be reached using GPMC? 
One more question. I'm planning to use a xilinx board, but I can't find any 
GPMC interface or something similar. Maybe this interface has a different 
name in the datasheet?
