Hi Luis,
could you please post a patch to add the license header to targets/iei/nova4899r/Config.lb, this would fix issue#53:
Patchset submitted in two emails (now i realised that i wrote the wront ticket number, it is not 35 but 53, please fix it while commiting)
Also, what's the status of the IEI board now? What works, what doesn't? We should fix up the table in the wiki to reflect the current status.
The IEI board is now functional to a higher level then before, but still not as good as I would expect. This board has some serious hardware design faults IMHO.
fixed: IRQ routing issues broken: eth1 is disabled by design as it interfeers with other devices not-functional: sound, vga, hardware monitor, internal I2C bus working: eth0, eth2, PCI slot, USB ports, serial console
VGA console can and will be implemented, but is currently pending some work which is being done with Juergen Beisert.
BIG FAT WARNING: Since the eth1 device is 'disabled by design', Linux 2.6 does some funky stuff like assign a device to it (eth1) but as it fails to bring it up, it then frees the device name. Some _tmp'random numer' device will be present. Therefore you should restrain yourself from using something that would get an 'eth%d' device name on the PCI slot. Further testing will be done with an Atheros wireless card (that gets an ath%d) device name.
Thanks, Uwe.
