Excellent choice. I'm currently designing a board with a 405GPr and a Silicon Motion SMI712 (also called LynxEM+). >>If so, what cards could I purchase at Frye's or some store.. I don't know. I directly designed my board without buying an evaluation board. I think that Eltec has a board with a Silicon Motion chip. >>Finally, does anyone have any code for this baby? Current version of U-Boot includes support for this chip. I've found a framebuffer driver for Linux in the devel tree of Penguin PPC. At the time beeing, I have a problem with this chip which works in little endian format and I have been unable to put it in big endian. So in 16bpp, colors aren't displayed correcly. >>Many thanks in advance. You welcome Laurent ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
