SCALE

[ron minnich]

OK, this is the first of several calls for help. I'm time-starved
right now as I have things I have to get working on BG/P, my day job
;-)

I'd like to have the 5 second "boot to X" demo at the table. If
somebody can help direct me to getting that set up, I'd appreciate it.
I will probably do this on a dmb690t mobo (marc? What kind of 1M flash
part do I use?). I want to have a "naked mainboard" for the demo.

I'm going to have a v3 demo; artec guys, I think I've asked this but
... what would you like to see.

can someone put this in a nice place on the wiki:
http://scale7x.socallinuxexpo.org/conference-info/banners-and-promos.

For the talk I'm going to show how to use v2, then v3, then seabios,
then buildrom.

I'm happy to lay out promotional material on the table if you send it
to me in time. We've got 5 weeks left. One thing that comes to mind is
the AMD Embedded initiative with the pointer to the coreboot page.
VIA, do you have any paper for me to hand out?

once again, any of you who want to help are most welcome.

thanks

This would be great! Good eye catcher for people browsing by :-)

I would be glad to print out a bunch of coreboot logo stickers and send
them to you. Just let me know.

SST49LF080A - 8 Mbit LPC Flash PLCC or similar should work.

If you don't want to cram everything into a 16Mbit flash chip, which
could be tight, you need some ATA flash to store apps on.

Since the dbm690 has an LPC PLCC socket you can use the dongle and my
adapter plug though, that way you have 32Mbit which is already more
roomy.

Maybe the dongle occupied for the ALIX already?
