Hello, I would like to use LinuxBIOS on an embedded Geode GX1 platform. The board is an Kontron ETX-mgx, and is has the following parts on board:
* CPU: Geode GX1 266 MHz * Southbridge: CS5530A * Superio: Winbond W83977F: IDE, floppy, 2x serial, parallel port * Phoenix BIOS 4.0 in a Am29F040B 512kx8 flash chip (TSOP package) * 64 MB PCI 133 DIMM * Compact flash slot * USB controller (Compaq ZFMicor Chipset) * Ethernet: Davicom DM9102AE I want to use LinuxBIOS with FILO to boot a linux kernel from the IDE Compact Flash. My idea is to piggyback an empty flash chip on top of the BIOS flash chip, and then use a switch to select the original BIOS or a newly flashed one. I am new on this list, and would appreciate some help to get this project on the road! My question is: What would be the best way to get this started? Can I use LinuxBIOSv1 or LinuxBIOSv2? LinuxBIOSv2 seems newer, but it seems to lack support for the W83977F. Thanks for any help! Joep -- LinuxBIOS mailing list LinuxBIOS@openbios.org http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
