OMAP-L138 SATA without cable.

Hi,

I am looking to use the SATA port of the L138 with an embedded mSATA SSD module. Due to space constraints, I would like to eliminate the SATA cable and route directly from the L138 to the mSATA module. According to the data sheet, the only SATA supported mode is to use a cable between the L138 and the module. Is this true, or with proper layout, could I route directly between the two devices?

Thanks,

PjA
