Hello! Actually in answer to your questions concerning such things as a null modem cable, that one is a yes. The other problem is that this machine a Dell GX150 is that he's an Intel job that is he's wearing both a native P3 and an Intel branded chipset, it’s the I810 series.
Now it's my understanding that the Intel ones are still hands off until the company decides to play fair with us. That is I believe the datasheets are available to any developer who's writing ordinary programs, but the initialization routines for BIOS developers, now that's a different story. Probably granted only under an NDA. Ron, did Intel ever want to really cooperate with the group? Or were they always this grouchy regarding the whole idea?
Intel i810 is already partially (mostly) supported. It's not pretty and not perfect, but the asus mew-vm is supported. There's no video support atm though, that might present a bit of a challenge.

Anyway Uwe this machine is my primary Linux development station. I only ran the commands to see what they would return. Besides, for what I am planning regarding this list's work it would be probably a Geode based system. Such as the Advantech based gizmo that started this thread.
Good suggestions though.

Hello! Just for fun I ran that same command on my Dell GX150 that I use for
Linux
work, and this is what he said: root@jimkirk:/# lspci -tvvn -[0000:00]-+-00.0 8086:1130 +-02.0 8086:1132 +-1e.0-[0000:01]----0c.0 10b7:9200 +-1f.0 8086:2440 +-1f.1 8086:244b +-1f.2 8086:2442 +-1f.3 8086:2443 +-1f.4 8086:2444 -1f.5 8086:2445 root@jimkirk:/#
Now would one of you be interested in explaining exactly what he
responded
with? (Be careful of formatting errors.)
Please re-run as 'lspci -tvnn' (note the small but important difference), and also post the 'superiotool -dV' output?
This is a very different board, though, it has nothing to do with the AMD Geode GX1. Your's is an Intel-board which just happens to be called
GX1.
Do you want to run LinuxBIOS on this one? Does flashrom work on the board? Do you have a spare ROM chip, a null-modem cable etc. to test
patches?
Uwe.
