[LinuxBIOS] LinuxBIOS

Hi,
is it possible to install LinuxBIOS on Wyse WinTerm 3360SE (Geode CS5530,
Winbond W29C020C) and, if it is, where i can find necessary files (i tried
on
http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/freebios/freebios-20010708.tar.gz
, but i couldn't find sources for this chipset)

Thanx,
Ivan.

I think somebody is working on that chipset don't know if its fully
functional though.

That's a way old snapshot. Try this instead.

why not use snapshots from http://snapshots.linuxbios.info?

Id be interested in knowing how far you get with this.

Ive got a couple of these, a 3350 and a t1010 (compaq variant of the 3360se).
As far as I know, nobody has been successful getting linux to completely
boot, but some have gotten very close.
Its a mostly standard gxm/geode design with extra flash, so the geode
code in LB ought to work.  You'll need a laplink cable
and some software if you flash onboard (ie not the hotflash method).

Here's some links:

http://winterm.gaast.net/main.php/intro.html
http://winterm.gaast.net/downloads/ for the software
you'll also need xfer.exe from wyse.

The cardbus bridge might cause trouble if you have a "WYSE Shamrock" 
chipset.  Im unsure what if any documentation there is on it.
(my 3350 uses a common TI bridge, the t1010 has the shamrock).
There's also a Lattice GAL soldered on there somewhere which could be
anything.
