Hi, Stephan, Thanks for the information. By changing the ROM_SIZE in the Config.lb, I get a linuxbios.ROM of 524288 bytes and flashed it to the destination node.
After that I connected the null modem cable to another machine, use minicom and configured the serial poart as 115200 8N1, quite and restart the minicom again and then started the machine with linuxbios flashed. But I cannot see any inputs. What could be the problem?
Thanks.

Before I get BIOS download from IWILL's website. The .ROM file is 524288 bytes. Is this the
flash_chip
size? The linuxbios.rom built is 1048576 bytes.
Then you probably flashed half of LinuxBIOS only.. You need to create one that is 512k big if that is the size of your flash chip
I didn't connect the serial cable to the machine.
And
do you mean set the baute rate in Bios settings?
Connect the board with a serial cable to another machine. you will see lots of output if LinuxBIOS is there. (i think 115200 baud is the default) VGA is still a bit tricky in LinuxBIOS
