APM support in linuxbios.
by sivakumar 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

Hi, When I was reading a document about the APM, it is mentioned that we need to have BIOS support to have APM on the machine. Also it is mentioned that if the BIOS is not properly supported it will lead the APM to crash the system. So I want to know about APM support in the case of LINUXBIOS. Can any one help me out? Also yesterday I have downloaded the latest code of the Linuxbios. Still now I was working with old source base from sourceforge.net. After compiling with the new code, I found some new file like c_start.s and linuxbios_c.*. what I have to do with these file? Thanks, Siva -- sivakumar <sivakumar.subramani(a)wipro.com> wipro

BIOS replacement Intel '486
by Richard Bonomo 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

Hello! I am working with a Real Time Devices PC-104 standard system equipped with a '486DX processor, and. In order to decrease boot time to our OS (which is QNX/Neutrino) I would like to eliminate the BIOS, replacing it with my own code which does minimal initialization, and then loads the OS immediately (the OS is not dependent on BIOS calls). If anyone who has done this sort of thing before is willing to spend a few minutes on the telephone with me, I'd be most appreciative. Roy Minnich of LANL appears willing, but he is out for a number of days. Thank you. Richard B. P.S. please reply direct. -- ************************************************ Richard Bonomo UW Space Astronomy Laboratory ph: (608) 263-4683 telefacsimile: (608) 263-0361 SAL-related email: bonomo(a)sal.wisc.edu all other email: bonomo(a)ece.wisc.edu web page URL: http://www.cae.wisc.edu/~bonomo ************************************************

keyboard problem
by Paulo Richards 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

Hi, i finally succeeded burning the DoC, with linuxbios and my custom kernel, loading the root file system on hda1.. it works almost perfect, but i can't get keyboard working, I searched on the web, but i found nothing useful (i made what Antony Stone wrote on his guide, but still don't work), I don't Know if is problem of the kernel or my linuxbios configuration. Any idea how can i fix it? There are attached the linuxbios and kernel configs files, if you want to take a look, please tell me if anything is missing or are something wrong. Thanks Paulo Richards PD: i'm working with a pcchips 810lmr

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
