Geode

[J P]

Hi,     I am using geode sc1200 chip. I have to do some initialization to my sc1200 and then load my linux OS from hard disk to SDRAM. Can linux bios satisfy all these? What else can linux bios do?

Hello from Gregg C Levine
As far as I  know, about that family of processors, and associated
systems, a lot of things. But please be more specific. We can not help
you, if you do not provide sufficient information.

I believe this list has searchable archives as well. Before you submit
your questions, please try searching them, you should find a clear
enough answer for that issue. I do know that one of the main sticking
points, is still IDE issues.

Also please try not to use HTML, it wastes network bandwidth, among
other issues.

Checkout the current source from cvs and look at the code for the nano
system written by Christer Weinigel.  The nano is based on the SC2200 but
almost all of the code applies to SC1200 as well.

Using etherboot or some patches to LinuxBIOS you'll be able to load an OS
from an IDE drive as well.
