The CPU and southbridge are supported. I don't think anybody has been working on the mainboard, though. Looking at the chips on the board, it looks like it might be similar to the db800 mainboard, but there are probably some differences.
If you can get the schematics, then it should be fairly simple to get LinuxBIOS working on this board (probably just a few changes to the mainboard code).
Yes, I've got some information about the board, but not the board itself.
Is it possible to order them?
The PCEngines engineer
AFAIK it's a one man show. Pascal subcontracts manufacturing of course, but I think it's just him in the company.
told me that 'someone on the US is already working on LinuxBIOS for it'.
LB is a good fit.
PC Engines also offers tinyBIOS, a somewhat commercial/somewhat open source BIOS for embedded systems, much like Soekris offers comBIOS. I spoke with Søren (the founder) at LinuxForum in Copenhagen in March and I did not get the impression that he was particularly interested in selling boards with LB. I guess there's a market for comBIOS.
Answering also to Peter Stuge, yes, LPC flash add-on is possible and will be the best way to test and develop LinuxBIOS for this particular board :)
Aye.
