    Impact appears to be a sub-protocol under EPAT (from the docs I've seen).
    Specifically, all the chips I've used epat with have been labeled impact
    something.

    You may want to try applying the patch at
    http://moomonk.timelords.org/epat. It adds support for the c7/c8 revs of
    the epat chip at a slight IO penalty.
