Hi Im new to the list, so apoligise if this has been asked before :( I use the EPIA PD10000 boards for various projects and would like to use linux bios on the boards, the PD range is not listed on the site, so i thought id ask here :) I understand that video can be a problem with the EPIA boards but all i realy want is a serial output :)
The PD10000 board has the following chipsets :- # Processor VIA C3/ VIA Eden EBGA processor # Chipset VIA CLE266 North Bridge # VIA VT8235 South Bridge # System Memory 1 DDR266 DIMM socket # Up to 1GB memory size # VGA Integrated VIA UniChrome AGP graphics with MPEG-2 Accelerator # Expansion Slots 1 PCI # Onboard IDE 2 X UltraDMA 133/100/66 Connector # Onboard LAN VIA VT6105 LOM+VT6103 10/100 Base-T Ethernet PHY # Onboard Audio VIA VT1612A 2 channel AC' 97 codec # Award BIOS # 2/4Mbit flash memory # CPU voltage monitoring # Wake-on-LAN, Keyboard Power-on, Timer Power-on # System power management # AC power failure recovery (data taken from VIA website : http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/mini_itx/epia_pd/)
as i use these boards mainly as routers, all i realy need functioning is the IDE and LAN, and serial access (VERY basic 80x40 video text output might be nice thow :) ) the only other thing might be to have the audio working and the pci slot, as i have used these boards in the past for Asterisk PBX sytsem.
Again, if this has been asked before im sorry
any help would be great
Yours
Matt
