We are considering building a product around Intel's Little Valley mini-ITX motherboard, model D201GLY. Would we be able to use linuxbios on it?
SiS662+SiS964L - neither have existing support.
The southbridge SiS966 is supported, maybe it's close enough to be usable.
We have some contacts at Intel, but not SiS. From the Linuxbios perspective that's the key company here, right?
If development is required, are there folks who do that kind of programming that we could work with?
Yes. The problem is usually to find documentation from the chipset vendor, but we've recentlyreceived nice contributions to the project from SiS themselves so maybe that will not be a big problem here. :)
We would be interested in getting a quote from someone capable for supporting this board. Any suggestions or contacts?
I was told that the BIOS chip is a 4-Mbit SPI flash device. Is that big enough to work with (512K)? Would we be able to fit any system diagnostics (fsck, memtest86), tools (bash) or network support (ssh, vnc) into that size?
