Hello

I have compiled the linuxbios for sc1200. I also have Dorado xpress 
loader. Can you plz tell how could I boot my linux OS from Flash into RAM 
using the BLDT from National? I assume the BLDT is for WindowsCE OS.

I assume like this. I can have the (lilo) bootloader as the option 
ROM. So my BIOS program shall scan for the option ROMs. Is it correct?

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Here's a suggestion. When people post questions like that, just ask
them, to restate the questions, in a different format. It always
works. Especially when I talk like that.

xpressLoader has different GDT table with linux kernel.
If you fix this, lilo rom(?) may work.
If you have BootOS source from N.S., porting only linuxbiosmain.c to boot rom
works fine with vsa rom. That was my case.

What did you get working with the VSA rom? Audio? Power managment?

[Kyuwan Jung]

N.S provides ALSA and Framebuffer drivers for linux which use vsa rom.
As far as I know, there isn't power management driver from N.S yet.

I've seen some native powermanagement patch for linux on geode
somewhere, but it don't seem to do much.
Does the framebuffer stuff also work with 2.5? Is it still that huuuge
bunch of code coming in it's own kernel tree instead of a patch?

Stefan

[Kyuwan Jung]

thanks for notice, Stefan.
NS framebuffer was for early version of 2.4, however I've used it with 2.4.19
after manual patch on config.in and makefile.
And it is true so far that they have their own source tree. Although 2.5 seems to 
have much support for Geode, i'm not sure of Geode framebuffer yet.
I plan to upgrade kernel to 2.5 and I will let you know if it works ;-)

Do you have a patch for 2.4.19?
This might save a lot of people a lot of work..

The nsc-kfb 2.7.7 patch/installer works on 2.4.19 and 2.4.20.  Same with
both the OSS and Alsa audio drivers.  Same with the udma patch with minor
modifications, though it does not work at 66mhz.  their v4l driver hardly
works, though I have only been trying to use it with the framebuffer as
the output device.  I eagerly await not using their hardware anymore.
