[LinuxBIOS] Linux BIOS on Embedded board
by Keven Tipping 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

Greetings to all! I hope this is the correct address to use when posting- I'm somewhat new to the whole mailing list thing. Anyways. I recently picked up a nice PCM-5820 Rev. B2 Board, made by Advantech. It runs a GX1 300mhz Processor, 256mb PC100 Ram (SODIMM), and 2 40gb Samsung IDE Drives. The unit also has 2 USB 1.1 ports, AC97 Audio, Realtek RL8139 10/10 Ethernet. I'm planning on running Linux, probably Fedora Core 3/4 on the machine, as a VPN endpoint and network server serving up SMB/NFS. It might eventually be used as a MP3 player for my home theater system, so I do need audio capabilities. The two USB ports are being dedicated to a Crystalfontz 635 and 634 displays, which will be used to monitor and control the system heedlessly. I'm wondering- will LinuxBIOS run on this machine properly? It has no expansion so-to-say, just PC104 which will remain unused. I've heard things about the Audio and Graphics for the unit, but nothing definite. Will this board run LinuxBIOS, with Video and Audio capabilities? If I have to, I'll grab one of those nifty swap-a-bios chips that lets me select between the Advantech Phoenix BIOS and the Linux BIOS. This system will be encased in a acrylic case (custom made, laser cut), so this is more of a hobby then anything else, but I'd like to have a system running Linux that boots Linux BIOS for the kick of it. Cheers! Keven Tipping

Post your question again with the lspci output. More detailed comments: There are very few Pentium 4 mainboards supported by LinuxBIOS. Support for Opteron and AMD64 mainboards is much better. The SA1100 is a StrongARM processor. Is that what you meant? Or, is SA1100 also the name of a mainboard and you want to know if the mainboard SA1100 is supported? Please provide more information like a URL to the products you are interested in having LinuxBIOS support for. Or, as mentioned above, just provide the Linux lspci output.

[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBIOS article in the August Linux Journal
by Ken Fuchs 09 Jul '05

09 Jul '05

Congratulations, Ron! "Porting LinuxBIOS to the AMD SC520" is a wonderful article. It describes very well the basics required by a LinuxBIOS newbie to understand LinuxBIOS and potentially do his own port to a new motherboard. It also had enough detail to make it interesting to those of us who have been using and developing LinuxBIOS for months or even years. The article is on-line at: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8120 Thank you Linux Journal for publishing and especially publishing it immediately on-line. (Linux Journal plans to use LinuxBIOS in next year's Ultimate Linux Box.) I hope Ron's article inspires scores of developers to join the LinuxBIOS project and enable us to port LinuxBIOS to all the high volume server/desktop/laptop/embedded mainboards plus all the lower volume mainboards that are particularly suited to all project member's applications. Sincerely, Ken Fuchs <kfuchs(a)winternet.com>

[LinuxBIOS] Winbond w39v040a support for flash_rom
by David Hendricks 09 Jul '05

09 Jul '05

First attempt at adding support for this chip in flash_rom. It's basically the same as a W49F002U, only different total and page sizes. Attached are my tla file-diffs for flash.h and flash_rom.c and also .c and .h files for the chip itself.

[LinuxBIOS] Re: dead loop in compute_allocate_resource
by Steve Magnani 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

I ran into something similar over the weekend, with a s2735 variant (Intel 7501 Xeon development kit) I'm working on. I had assumed it was something I did wrong in Config.lb - I set the USB and IDE devices "on" even though my southbridge LPC setup disables them. When I set the USB and IDE devices "off" in Config.lb my problem went away. Not a solution, I know, but it might help track down the problem. Steve
