Well it has a 2MB Bios chip, so I suppose the Wyse OS lives in the biosflash area? Other then that, it only supports RDP, ICA int he Wyse OS; booting it does from the following 3 options, IDE, PXE, USB. I'll take a foto of the bios, though it really isn't interesting at all. >> As the S50 reads: >> Processor: AMD Geode GX 366MHz >> Memory: 128MB Flash/256MB RAM >> >> btw they use a gx in the spec instead of gx2; odd. >> >> > Yes you will see that alot, the GX is actually the sucsesor to the GX1. > Others will call it GX2 for clarification (me :-)). > Ah! ok so there was GX1; and GX, but we call GX GX2 to make it sound as a successor, as it is. I know linux uses GX2 in it's naming. >> The S30 lists the same btw: >> >> Processor: AMD Geode GX 366MHz >> Memory: 64MB Flash/128MB RAM >> >> > S30 comes with different flash/ram combos. > Mine has 32MB Flash/ 64MB RAM > I wonder where the flash is located at, in the bios chip, or if it's an IDE devices 'flash' thing. >> >> So besides the tool outputs etc etc I posted earlier; I'll take loads of >> pics.

Atm I have compiled everything and it seemed to build after some tweaking fine; using the Wyse S50 mainboard. -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
