Geode gx2

[Ina Miranda]

Hi,

I’d just like to ask if LinuxBIOS is compatible with Geode GX2 chipset.

Thanks,
Ina

As far as I know there is no LinuxBIOS port to the GX2.  I did browse
the preliminary GX2 data sheets last winter and it seems that enough
documentation is publically available to do a LinuxBIOS port to the
processor.  There are major changes between the GX1 and GX2 though, so
it would be a completely new port of LinuxBIOS, I don't think there's
much of the GX1 port that can be reused.
