sdram on board
by daniel＠dmhome.net 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

I am trying to get an embedded pc board to run with linuxbios. The board is an arbor emcore6352 and is (almost) identical to the technoland sbc710 from the CVS tree. The onboard ethernet is an intel chipset however, and the cpu is a low power pentium iii. * Linuxbios is coming up and so is the kernel. The pirq table however, is not successfully copied to 0xf0000, or so the debuging message tells me. Ethernet and usb both have irq zero assigned in linux ... Any tips where I can start looking? * The other thing , is that the board has it's sdram (128mb) soldered on the pcb, and there's no serial eeprom to read the stuff that usually comes from the smbus. So far the only way to get linuxbios to come up is to plug in extra sdram(in an sodimm socket) that DOES have the usual serial eeprom to do spd. I have the datasheets of the sdram components, so I guess it's a matter of hardcoding the information about those chips somewhere? Could you please give me a hint as to where would be the best place to insert this code into the source tree? Or any useful links about (basics) of sdram initialization, since I am a total newbie with this stuff. Thanks

[ANNOUNCE] mkelfImage-2.1
by ebiederman＠lnxi.com 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

mkelfImage-2.1 is now released. mkeflImage is a tool for generating bootable ELF executables suitable for feeding to LinuxBIOS and etherboot. Currently it supports the linux kernel on both the Itanium and x86 architectures. ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/src/mkelfImage/mkelfImage-2.1.tar.gz ftp://download.lnxi.com/pub/src/mkelfImage/mkelfImage-2.1.tar.gz - Broken binutils version available with Redhat 7 are now detected, at runtime and an error results instead of broken images. Anyone want to update the autoconf script so this fails at build time? - gzipped kernels are now supported. - Minor cleanups. And of course mkelfImage-2.1 is completely in C so it builds images much faster than mkelfImage-1.x. Eric

Introducing Qplus Embedded Linux.
by hcyun＠etri.re.kr 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Hello, I think many people in this list are working on embedded system. So I introduce our open-source embedded linux distribution and toolkit which can compete with commercial embedded linux product such as MontaVista or Embedix linux. It provides intergrated configuration system of kernel and rootfilesystem. And entire component can be built very easily. If your are trying to make an small embedded linux system, I think this can be very helpful for you. Moreover, it's an open-source project. If you want to know more about qplus see following links. Review of qplus at LinuxDevices.com - http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5640843706.html. Sourceforge - http://sourceforge.net/projects/qplus Main homepage - http://qplus.etri.re.kr/qplus-p/ - HeeChul Yun, Embedded S/W Team at ETRI phone: +82-42-860-1673

problems with pchips 810lmr
by Paulo Richards 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Hi, i need help about linux bios I have a 810lmr with an athlon xp 1500+ cpu, and 160MB of ram. Also i get a DoC to put linux bios on it, i follow the sis630 guide from the linuxbios website and the Antony Stone's personal experience guide, i follow every single step, and it's seems to be ok, but when i reboot the mainboard there's no output on the monitor (don't even a blink), the keyboard leds (caps lock and scroll lock) start to blink and the hard drive seems to work (it make noise). So, i hook up a serial cable for listening the serial port and this is what i get (attached file). It's seems to be fine for me, but i don't really know what exactly means... There's anyone could help me? What i did wrong? Thanks Paulo Richards

Tiger MPX
by Jarmo Tulonen 27 Jan '03

27 Jan '03

Hello I've been testing LinuxBIOS on Tyan's Tiger MPX, using etherboot as payload, but with no luck so far. Nothing is output to the serial port and nothing sent to the ethernet so I guess I must have something fundamentally wrong. Steven : I used as configuration the file "example-normal.config" that you provided, just replacing the path to etherboot, and the files under .../mainboard/tyan/TigerMPX without modification. I've understood that you tested it on a similar board (or was it the "-4M" version ?) Any ideas how to proceed ? Jarmo

All, Packages for LinuxBIOS and our management utilities are now available on our ftp site-> ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/src/linuxbios Current boards include: Supermicro: p4dpr, p4dpe Tyan: s2466 Utilites: (detailed man pages included) lbflash - initial flash and BIOS update utility. cmos_util - CMOS management utility. bios_copy - creating a backup of the factoryBIOS. I've made them available in RPM, SRPM package format and included a tarball as well. It's suggested that you read the NEWS file for the latest update and feature information on each release. New revs and board releases will be made available as we develop them. --jason-- jschildt(a)lnxi.com Software Engineer LinuxNetworX _____________________________________________ webmail by http://www.thenewpush.com and IMP TheNewPush, home for your secure web services

best motherboard for linuxbios
by Alessio Sangalli 26 Jan '03

26 Jan '03

Hi. We will have to install linuxbios on a number of systems for multimedia applications. Reading the page http://www.clustermatic.org/lb/status/index.html it seems that pc-chips motherboards aren't so well supported as I thought at first; which socketA mobo would you suggest me for the best compatibility with linuxbios? elitegroup k7sem perhaps? bye & thank you as

RE: linuxbios (fwd)
by Lawrence LL. Dai 26 Jan '03

Maybe you use wincvs to check the source code in Windows, the "config" directory and "Config" file together in the same directory will generate conflict.
