If I had the detailed pinout information with me, I would have posted it. What I should have done is to post that I'll follow up tonight with the correct listing. If my vague memory is right, the pinout goes as follows: - Pins 1 and 2 are some sort of power. - From pins 3... on, it starts with GPIO16 and up. The manual had some different number assignment for those. - If you start at pin 3, there are at least 6 or 7 useable GPIO pins, followed by a ground pin right afterwards. - I found more IO pins, plus the serial pins, further down the connector, in the expected places but again with the GPIO number assignment not exactly matching the 4801 manual. This is good, because I needed only 5 GPIO pins, plus +5V and Gnd, and I wanted to use the narrowest possible flat cable (a 20-wire cable would have made routing around hard disk, MiniPCI card and RF antenna wiring even harder). The pinout provides this nicely. All this was done with OpenBSD 4.1. It might theoretically be possible that other OSes assign the GPIO pins differently. I will post the detailed pin listing tonight; it is stored both on a file on the Soekris machine, and in my notebook, but both are an hour by car away and not network accessible. -- Ralph Becker-Szendy [EMAIL PROTECTED] (408)395-1435 735 Sunset Ridge Road; Los Gatos, CA 95033 _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
