The patch is a single big patch with compete board support for the Pico E12 cards, but it includes complete boot2bash uartlite support, including early serial. The uartlite code much more closely follows the 8250 code. The early serial portions probably would work asis with PK's driver. Though I can't confirm that as PK's driver does not work on my hardware. A newer version of the same big patch is at http://www.picocomputing.com/software/files/Installers/coLinux/Pico-2.6.patch.bz2 When I have more time and am more proficient with git I will likely break it up into individual pieces. -- Dave Lynch DLA Systems Software Development: Embedded Linux 717.627.3770 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dlasys.net fax: 1.253.369.9244 Cell: 1.717.587.7774 Over 25 years' experience in platforms, languages, and technologies too numerous to list.
