Hi Oliver,

I just found http://www.coreboot.org/AMD_Geode_Porting_Guide over on the wiki and was wondering if that was maybe slightly outdated or not needed for a Wyse S10? The S10 uses similar hardware as the S50.
The wiki page is a little outdated.
Actually the only difference is that the S50 has 128kb onboard flash, so minor difference.
Are you sure ? Joseph reported that his S30 uses a cs5535 instead of the cs5536 on the S50.
Yes my S30 has a GX2 and cs5535.From what I have read both the S30 and S50 are upgradable to the S10. It is just a bios and software upgrade.
On another note I just got a V30L, sweet little VIA C& machine....
Hope that helps.
Hmm; I thought that the S10 was the most basic version :)
Processor: AMD Geode GX 366MHz Memory: 0 Flash/128MB RAM
So S10 has 0 flash??? Does it just PXE boot?
As the S50 reads: Processor: AMD Geode GX 366MHz Memory: 128MB Flash/256MB RAM
btw they use a gx in the spec instead of gx2; odd.
Yes you will see that alot, the GX is actually the sucsesor to the GX1. Others will call it GX2 for clarification (me :-)).
The S30 lists the same btw:
Processor: AMD Geode GX 366MHz Memory: 64MB Flash/128MB RAM
S30 comes with different flash/ram combos. Mine has 32MB Flash/ 64MB RAM
So besides the tool outputs etc etc I posted earlier; I'll take loads of pics. Do I need to pry off the CPUs heatsink for a pic of that? Since I don't know how to best re-attach it; id' like to postpone that.
Yes I think this is a great idea :-) No need to take the heatsink off, we already know what the CPU is. I propose a new wiki page "Wyse Thin Clients" That we can upload pics too, and information about each system. I have 3 or 4 different models so a central info point would be cool. I would be glad to take lots of pics too.
Also not having a GX VSA is kinda really off-putting; it basically means I can't use coreboot on this thing yet? How did people do it on the S30 and more specifically the S50? The S50 does list as being supported, how?
Don't worry about VSA too much, I am sure we can up with a solution when we get to that point.
